Good morning, Guardians! Today I'm downright thrilled to announce that I'm joining the incredible team over at Bungie as Senior Social Media Manager on

As a lifelong fan of their games, I genuinely couldn't be more excited! Let's go step into some wars ๐
๐จProfessional news!๐จ
Today, I'm thrilled to be joining the team over at here 343, working on
@Halo
as Community Comms Manager! Working studio-side again is a joy in and of itself - but, to get to work alongside this team on Infinite is a dream. Now, let's go toss some Grunts!
I don't play Destiny but I happened across this post on Reddit; maybe some of my Destiny-playing friends could share this sweet gesture for a dad and his daughter. ๐

Creators of Mixer: You're legendary. You will thrive. Thank you for building alongside us.
Mixer Community: You're the best. Thank you for always making me feel so welcome.
Mixer teammates: Thank you. Your hard work is momentous. Thank you for allowing me to be on your team.
Professional update!
Today was my last day here at 343 and Microsoft. Firstly โ to the amazing
@Halo
Community Team, I count myself lucky to have been among your ranks. Shipping everything from MCC seasons to Infinite has been a total joy โ and I canโt thank you all enough. ๐

People take the health precautions super personally, for some reason. I wear a mask when I'm on a run and I get glared at by people handily whenever I just try to give them room or step a bit off the sidewalk.
Like, I'm just trying to make sure I don't kill my parents over here?
It's still a bit fresh, but...
I'm officially the Communications Manager here at
@WatchMixer
! While I'll still be out in the trenches hanging with you fine folks on the daily, I get to work with even more of our amazing team to share what we're up to! ๐
As of today, Iโve been on the team here at 343 for a full year! From MCC Playdates to Inside Infinites and everything in between - I canโt help but feel like Iโm just getting started.
Onward! ๐ค
I was not impacted by today's layoffs - but many of my incredible, industry-defining peers have been.
Please take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and offer support where you can.
This morning, we shared an important update with the Bungie team on the difficult decision to eliminate 220 roles at Bungie.
You can read the full statement below.
Destiny is a game I've spent an absurd amount of time in over the years - and, I can't wait for that to continue.
Congratulations to everyone over at Bungie! Just a bit longer now ๐
Itโs been so gut-wrenching seeing this weekendโs news. If youโre anyone that would seek to use our industryโs social circles for anything other than lifting your friends up and empowering those around you - youโre not welcome around me. Ever.

Thank you all for joining us today! Sharing a first look at Onslaught was a total blast - and we can't wait to see you all next week for even more.
In the meantime, see you Starside ๐ซก
Griffin is one of the most overwhelmingly talented and witty people Iโve ever had the good fortune to share the professional trenches with. Heโs a legend of his craft.
Cannot recommend him enough.
I've been laid off from
@Bungie
. A surreal thing to write as I sit here pondering what went wrong. I'm still processing it all and while my first instinct is anger I know I'd regret what I'd say.
Thank you to everyone at Bungie who helped make my last 5+ years the best ever.

Days like this are truly awful. I feel so thankful to have had the chance to work with so many incredible people who pushed our creativity, our efficiency, and always pushed the quality bar in huge ways.
I'm still here at Bungie, but please, give everyone love and empathy today.
Saying farewell to
@WatchMixer
has been difficult for me to wrap my head around. But, while I'm usually a man of many words, I'd rather just say;
Thank you. Everyone.
Now, to take some time before my next chapter begins. I'll have more to say soon, but for now - rest. ๐

Feeling pretty thankful to be a part of this team. Growing up, playing Halo was such a staple - I never dreamed Iโd get to be even a small part of shipping one.
Happy

day, everyone! ๐
For 10 years, I've been thankful to call Destiny my virtual home away from home.
To stay in touch with friends while out of town.
To make new ones.
To forge new memories.
To spend time with family during COVID.
And much, much more.
Onward to the next 10 ๐ซก

The second week of Microsoft's work from home begins. To spice up our Teams meetings I'm introducing myself with a hearty, "What's up my work from homies?!" on each call.
Wish me luck.
Just booked a meeting at the office, with my team, for the very first time since I joined 343. It may be a slow return to studio life but after a year, I'm damn excited!
The Witness's forces swell across Sol in unparalleled numbers. Arm yourself with Shaxxโs armory, and repel waves of the Witnessโs forces in the new Onslaught PvE Activity.
