You call yourself a lifelong gamer, what games most impacted you growing up?
Maplestory had a huge impact on my life.
I made so many friends online and it was the first community I fell in love with.
When I was 12 I wanted a new computer so I asked my dad for one.
It was then that I fell in love with not only technology, but also the gaming community.
Another game that had a major impact on me is League of Legends.
Prior to launching Shotcall you had a successful career as a Software developer and machine learning engineer.
When did you first realize you wanted to become an entrepreneur?
The basis behind all those games was that you could decide your own path and your own adventure.
I applied that to my life and realized that my true passion was working on something myself.
Could you share the genesis story behind Shotcall?
As youve probably seen by now, I played countless video games growing up.
