In January of 2018, I took a pretty gnarly fall at work, and fractured my collarbone. After getting a giant plate and 12 screws put inside me, I was pretty much out of commission for 4 months. And while I was pretty much unable to do anything, playing video games was really the only thing I could do to pass time. While delving into the retro gaming world, I found out about speedrunning games, and became hooked instantly. I had always been an NES junky, but once I started digging into the speedrunning world, my competitive side knew I could put up top times. While I started playing more and more, I also started doing merchandising for gamers and streamers that I met along the way.
