After a brief stint of playing competitively for Tempo Storm during high school (and quickly finding it wasn't for me), I took a job writing for Tempo Storm in their Hearthstone division. My writing prowess and flexibility saw me getting promoted to team-wide content creation, spanning official announcements, hosting a podcast, video content, and more.
I am still working at Tempo Storm to this day!
Blizzard partnered with Tempo Storm during the Frozen Throne Hearthstone expansion to turn Tempo Storm into the "Frozen Pwn". This required some jovial articles alongside the partnership, and I was tasked with flexing my creative muscles and creating some more comedy articles for the site!
This was my first attempt at a comedy article back in high school, and while I don't think its aged super well, I do recognize it as the first time I legitimately looked at and analyzed player archetypes and how they affected how people play games!
The TempoCast was my debut as a podcast host at the young age of 16! This was my favorite episode where we got to chat with the TempoStorm owner, Reynad for a bit about Hearthstone and general company stirrings.
