Opening doors in gaming, on both sides of the screen. Director of Esports Growth & Development at Full Sail University and a creator known as DamnitBennett, using each side to advocate for students and for collegiate esports as a whole.
The work splits into two clear lanes, but they feed each other. Being a creator in the wider industry lets me advocate for collegiate esports, and being in collegiate esports gives that advocacy somewhere to land. The goal underneath both: open doors for students.
For 20 years I have been part of Full Sail, now building its esports culture and supporting the Armada collegiate team. I connect collegiate esports to the wider industry, advocate for it everywhere I go, and turn those connections into real opportunities for students.
I build community around FPS and extraction shooters and keep the door open for anyone who wants in. The Crabcore is proof that competitive gaming spaces can still be welcoming ones.
I advocate for collegiate esports two ways: for my students, and for the industry as a whole. The throughline is simple. My roots and reach as a creator keep opening doors that students walk through.
Getting selected to stream at DreamHack as a creator opened the door for a Full Sail collegiate esports jersey to be featured in DreamHack's own branding.
My roots with GCX turned into discounted event tickets for Full Sail students, getting more of them into the room and in front of the industry.
That same network connected a Full Sail student to a scholarship backed by one of streaming's best known philanthropists.
There is so much more to the world of esports than just being good at the games. Join Bennett and his guests on a journey through the industry.
I built the show because students tend to fixate on the end goal: the dream job. But nobody can teach luck, and the journey is what actually gets you there. So each week I sit down with leaders and guests from across the industry and dig into how they really got where they are, the wins and the detours included.
It is part interview, part roadmap. The thing I want every student to walk away with is that the job that felt like a side quest at the time, the odd gig, the volunteer shift, the role that seemed off-path, is often the exact thing that opens the next door and gets you to the next achievement.

The Crabcore began as a tribute to a friend we lost, someone who loved crabcore music like Attack Attack! and throwing the crabcore pose. You know the one. What started as an homage has grown into one of the most welcoming communities on the internet, built on a simple belief: gaming is for everyone. Whoever you are, there is always a spot for you in the Crabcore.
Combined reach across platforms, concentrated where tactical shooter content actually gets watched. Figures current as of early 2026.
Most of my off-stream work lives under Arcadian Glitch LLC, the studio I co-own. It builds and runs community tools and shows for the games my audience actually plays.
The umbrella behind the trackers and shows below, serving the Destiny 2 and Gray Zone Warfare communities. Built the same way every time: fast, accurate, and community-first.
Tracks Xur, Destiny 2's elusive exotic vendor: where he is each week and whether his stock is worth your shards. One of the most-used trackers in the community.
Tracks Vulture in Gray Zone Warfare, including live hunts on stream. Same engine and same community focus as the Xur tracker, pointed at a brand new game.
A weekly show I co-hosted, breaking down Xur's location and inventory live. Now sunset, but the whereisxur.com tracker it grew from is still going strong.

If you have heard a Full Sail University commercial in the last decade, there is a good chance the voice you were hearing was mine.
Voice over is my other studio craft. Here is some of the work I have done for Full Sail University over the years, and I am open to new projects beyond campus too.
