CEO and Founder
2015 - 2020
Vreal’s mission is to revolutionize gaming content by making fans part of the action, delivering a fun, immersive experience inside the games and content that audiences want to watch. Although we were way too early and consumer VR didn't evolve the way we had hoped, I had an incredible time riding the rollercoaster with an amazing team, learning so much and making friends for life along the way. I'd do it all again in a heartbeat.
