I began playing Eve Online in 2022 Jul. Within the Uni, I am best known as a teacher, trader and industrialist, and active member of the PC9 nullsec pocket.

Outside of Eve, my other interests include TTRPG design, games (of the computer and board varieties), history, maintaining an optimized collection of liquor designed to give best value for money in a variety of categories, and fanfiction. In real life, I have at various times been a lawyer and a banker, with a particular focus on renewables, energy, and commodities. I am happy to talk with those interested in pursuing careers in these fields.

I am always happy to work with people interested in creating content or otherwise finding ways to give back to the Eve University community.

My favorite color is blue. My cat is the best kitty in the world, yes he is, yes he is.

Service

I previously served as a Community Lead for the Null-Sec Community, and as 2IC for the Buyback Department.

I have taught a substantial number of classes. Recorded version of many can be found on the Uni's Twitch channel.

I serve in other official Uni roles as I have the time and ability to do so.

Participation

I participated in the Community Content Initiative program, completing the program in 2023 Jun. In completing the program, my areas of focus included teaching, strategic defense, and PVP roams.

I helped coordinate defense efforts for the PC9 null-sec pocket during the CFT campaigns of 2023 and 2024.
