- L1 Certification Date:<\/strong> July 3, 2017<\/li>\n
- Favorite thing (e.g., card, deck, group of people) about Magic:<\/strong> It’s recently changed, but Collected Company has become my favourite card. The skill level involved in playing it, along with the luck makes for a ton of fun.<\/li>\n
- Occupation:<\/strong> Auto Worker<\/li>\n
- Random fact about yourself:<\/strong> Of 5 siblings, I’m the only one with my own birthday.<\/li>\n
- Why did you become a judge?:<\/strong> Living in a rural area, we’ve always had very few judges. I played at a high level and had rules knowledge. As I stopped playing as competitively, stores asked if I’d be interested in judging, and I’ve found the experience much more rewarding.<\/li>\n
- Who are your mentors?:<\/strong> Rick Miles<\/li>\n
- What challenges have you faced or are you facing to become a better judge?:<\/strong> Developing confidence in delivering rulings to players. <\/li>\n
- How have you worked to overcome those challenges?:<\/strong> Acting out delivering rulings in front of a mirror. It really helps!<\/li>\n
- What is your favorite Magic memory?:<\/strong> My first ever Day 2 of a Grand Prix started with a hangover. My opponent noticed and remarked that he should easily win. He scooped in under 10 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

- Level:<\/strong> Level 1<\/li>\n
- Location:<\/strong> London, Canada<\/li>\n
- Region:<\/strong> Canada <\/li>\n
- Approximate date\/month\/year you started playing Magic:<\/strong> I started playing Magic around 2012, sometime around Avacyn Restored.<\/li>\n
- L1 Certification Date:<\/strong> October 27, 2017<\/li>\n
- Favorite thing (e.g., card, deck, group of people) about Magic:<\/strong> I love that Magic is a universal language for all of its players. It’s amazing that a player from Canada and a player from Japan can sit down and feel like they’ve known each other for years, all because of the game.<\/li>\n
- Occupation:<\/strong> Magic Nerd at my LGS<\/li>\n
- Random fact about yourself:<\/strong> My polish ancestors were horse thieves. I don’t even know how you can steal a horse.<\/li>\n
- Why did you become a judge?:<\/strong> Becoming a judge was the best way I knew to give back and to help the community that had given me a place to express myself, as well as countless new friends.<\/li>\n
- What excites you most about this event?:<\/strong> Grand Prix are a chance to interact and connect with judges all over the world, not just where you live. As a relatively new member of the Program, I’m eagerly anticipating meeting a ton of new people and growing exponentially as a judge.<\/li>\n
- What are you hoping to learn at this event?:<\/strong> My main goal for this event is to get a good grasp of the structure and logistics of a Grand Prix so that when I work my next one, I can be confident that I’m working at optimum efficiency and be the best team member I can be.<\/li>\n
- Who are your mentors?:<\/strong> I have the privilege of being mentored by Mike Gyssels and Kaitlin McLachlan. I still haven’t figured out why I deserve such amazing mentors. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
