FATAL1TY STORY
Who knew that at age 19, I would be a World
Champion PC gamer. When I was 13, I actually played
competitive billiards in professional tournaments and
won four or five games off guys who played at the
highest level. I actually thought of making a career of it,
but at that young age situations change rapidly.
Because I’ve been blessed with great hand-eye
coordination and a grasp of mathematics (an important
element in video gaming) I gravitated to that activity.
GOING PRO
I started professional gaming in 1999 when I entered the CPL (Cyberathlete
Professional League) tournament in Dallas and won $4,000 for coming in third
place. Emerging as one of the top players in the United States, a company interested
in sponsoring me flew me to Sweden to compete against the top 12 players in the
world. I won 18 straight games, lost none, and took first place, becoming the
number one ranked Quake III player in the world in the process. Two months later
I followed that success by traveling to Dallas and defending my title as the world’s
best Quake III player, winning the $40,000 grand prize. From there I entered
competitions all over the world, including Singapore, Korea, Germany, Australia,
Holland and Brazil in addition to Los Angeles, New York and St. Louis.
WINNING STREAK
I was excited to showcase my true gaming skills when defending my title as CPL
Champion of the year at the CPL Winter 2001 because I would be competing in a
totally different first person shooter (fps) game, Alien vs. Predator II. I won that
competition and walked away with a new car. The next year I won the same title
playing Unreal Tournament 2003, becoming the only three-time CPL champion.
And I did it playing a different game each year, something no one else has ever
done and a feat of which I am extremely proud.
At QuakeCon 2002, I faced off against my rival ZeRo4 in one of the most highly
anticipated matches of the year, winning in a 14 to (-1) killer victory. Competing at
Quakecon 2004, I became the World’s 1st Doom3 Champion by defeating Daler in
a series of very challenging matches and earning $25,000 for the victory.

LIVIN’ LARGE
Since my first big tournament wins, I have been a “Professional Cyberathlete”,
traveling the world and livin’ large with lots of international media coverage on
outlets such as MTV, ESPN and G4TV to name only a few. It's unreal - it's crazy.
I’m living a dream by playing video games for a living. I’ve always been athletic and
took sports like hockey and football very seriously, working out and training hard.
This discipline helps me become a better gamer and my drive to be the best has
opened the doors necessary to become a professional.
A DREAM
Now, another dream is being realized – building the ultimate gaming computer,
made up of the best parts under my own brand. Quality hardware makes a huge
difference in competitions…a couple more frames per second and everything gets
really nice. It's all about getting the computer processing faster and allowing more
fluid movement around the maps.
My vision for Fatal1ty hardware is to allow gamers to focus on the game without
worrying about their equipment, something I’ve preached since I began competing.
I don’t want to worry about my equipment. I want it to be there – over and done
with - so I can focus on the game. I want it to be the fastest and most stable
computer equipment on the face of the planet, so quality is what Fatal1ty brand
products will represent.
Partners
This is just the beginning. We’re already in development for a whole range of new
products, and I’m really grateful to all my partners, such as Zalman, for helping
make my dreams a reality.
I know there is a business side to all of this, but for me the true reward is making
products that are so good I can win with them – and making them available to
fellow gamers. Gaming is my life, and many fellow gamers around the world are
also some of my best friends, so giving back to the gaming community is really
important to me.
