College esports is turning today's student athletes into tomorrow's esports superstars. Today I'm starting my journey with @NACEsports and the @NAIA to help pioneer esports as a generational collegiate sport.

If you're interested in joining NACE, reach out and let's get to work!

[NACE @NACEsports]

We are proud to welcome @Danan as our new Senior Director of Membership & Operations!

With over 15 years of esports experience, he started his career working in Riot Games' League of Legends. Danan is known for his time as a General Manager at Cloud9, and where he led the expansion into more than 20 unique esports titles, and the NBA's Golden State Warriors, where he oversaw their League of Americas (now LTA, formerly the LCS).

Join us in welcoming Danan Flander to NACE!

Costco is testing new GINORMOUS Chicken Strips in their food court with 5 strips and sauce for $6.99! 😲

Currently they're only in about six locations around Chicago - would you grab these while on a Costco run?

Right in the middle of the whirlwind the last few days have been I got this email today from the parent of a previous student. Can't express what getting something like this means so far removed from this particular student's time with me.

Great few days to be reminded why I love what I do.
