I have been playing Warhammer for over 15 years. Me and my friends started out playing on a table with random objects as terrain! I began playing with Orks and transitioned in playing primarily Grey Knights. Once entering the competitive scene I have been a key contributor to multiple large Team event victories, many GT podiums and am consistently playing for top bracket at Majors and Super Majors.
Warhammer has allowed me to make many friends all over the world and I could not be more grateful to have found this hobby. I have always had a passion for teaching and coaching, being able to help pass on the skills I have learned over the years is a great feeling and am looking forward to doing it at the highest level!
Achievements
I’ve made it my main goal as player to be a amazing opponent and to always win the right way. It is very important to me that in a win, lose or draw that me and my opponent had a great game where the best plays win. My goal in my games is to make all the correct plays myself with proper planning/positioning so that I do not rely on you forgetting a rule or making mistakes.
I will finish this year as a top 3 ITC ranked Grey Knight player and my goal in 2027 is to reach number one. I primarily play Teams Warhammer 40K; where my Team has won 1st place on many occasions while managing to score best in faction. My favorite accomplishment is finishing 7-0 with a perfect 700 point score playing my favorite unit: Paladins!
Coaching Experience
I have spent the majority of my adult live in management positions where my entire job is to teach and train. Additionally I have been a Warhammer 40K coach on my own for the better part of a year. Logging many sessions varying from coaching other pros on Grey Knights all the way to brand new players wanting to learn core fundamentals.
While Grey Knights is my specialty, I can coach many armies at a GT winning level.
Game Style and Specialty
I play 40K at a very slow pace. My early turns are used to set up strong staging points and clearing screens to help my Grey Knight Army to deep strike into key locations. Most of my games of 40K last for 5 full turns and I focus on making the right decisions and performing as few “low” risk plays as possible.
However, I have made sure to hone my skills to identify an opening to commit heavily if my opponent gives it to me to end the game with the super powerful Deep Strike abilities of Grey Knights!
Teaching Philosophy
My coaching style is very active. I like to spend time setting up core fundamentals with you to establish a base line and then slowly develop into full games. Back and fourth questions and pre build scenarios have allowed me to make sure I always am able to setup the plays and skills I want you to learn.
I believe that it is much easier to improve without playing full 3 hour games; but instead focusing on skills you want to develop and when/how to apply them. Lastly, I do a lot of post game analysis with you via photos from your played games to find out why certain decisions were made and if there was better options in the moment.
I like to approach the game in a way that allows me to find creative solutions to problems, rather than just building the most optimized damage lists and hoping to go first.
