Noteworthy Points

My brother and I hold a Guinness World Record for `Fastest Jenga Tower ~30 Levels`. Video and Guiness web link for proof. 🏆
I have a podcast, affectionately known as Audible Chocolate, where I mix whatever suits my fancy. 🎧
I make music occassionally and have been released by Playloop Records (under the alias, supermucho). 🎸
I qualified for the first ever Magic: The Gathering Modern Pro Tour, so technically I am a professional Magic player. Come at me! ✨
I'm a member of the Sons of Ben, a supporters group for the Philadelphia Union. ⚽️
Between 2012 and 2014, my cousins, sister, and I ran a regional Pittsburgh sports blog called "Bleed Black and Gold," which was more successful than it was lucrative. Being from Pittsburgh, I'm, of course, a big fan of the Steelers 🏈, Penquins 🏒, and Pirates ⚾️.
I'm an aspiring sushi chef 🍣 and hot sauce big wig 🌶.
