Champ is an American smasher who uses Fox at a professional level in Melee, Brawl, and Smash 4. He is respected among the SoCal Smash scene for being an overall great tournament director and a veteran in the smash scene since 2006. Champ was ranked in Melee during the "Golden age" and in Brawl during 2009. He went on hiatus after GENESIS and has returned to compete in Smash 4 using Fox again. Champ was previously ranked 16th on the SoCal Smash 4 Power Rankings.

Besides being a player in all iterations of smash, he was also a prominent tournament director in the Southern California scene. Along with Nealdt, he hosted major events that were a pivotal part in keeping Melee and Brawl scene alive during 2007 - 2012. He was also a panelist for the SoCal Power Rankings for both Melee and Brawl. Champ helped organize and create 2GG alongside Jmex, an organization that has hosted numerous major Smash 4 tournaments, with running series.

Champ's play style was inspired by Masashi, who rarely uses short hops in Melee. In Smash 4, he is considered to be a high level Fox players on the West Coast and a sparring partner to Larry Lurr. Champ is also famously known for his combo in Melee which is call the Champ Combo, which consist of dash attack -> up tilt -> up air with Fox.

In Brawl, he's the only person to ever have been ranked in SoCal with Captain Falcon. In Smash 4, Champ has taken sets off players such as NCJacobT, ImHip, and C3PO.
