Our Executive leadership team, AKA "The Final Bosses" are elected board members that serve 2 year terms fulfilling a specific role within the organization. The five directors are tasked with overseeing leagues, online systems, offline meetups, our finances and social media.
Kristin (she/her)Finance Director
Hi, I'm Kristin! I'm the Finance Director with CMSA eSports. I DM for our D&D League and also play cozy titles like Animal Crossing and Pokemon, alongside competitive favorites like Mario Kart and Overcooked. In my free time when I'm not gaming, I love visiting Chicago’s theaters, working on creative design projects, and exploring local board game cafes. My favorite thing is bringing people together, whether that’s around a gaming table, at a live event, or through shared creative ideas. If you want to hang out, you can usually find me in the D&D channels or just shoot me a message on Discord!
Code (he/they)Social Media Director
Hey there! My name is Code and I assist with social media and marketing for CMSA. I also have run the Dead by Daylight league for years now and helped establish our Marvel Rivals league. I am a big gamer and love to be involved with this amazing community! Outside of our leagues, I love playing Sims, Persona, Tomb Raider, Zelda, and too many more. My favorite would probably be Alice Madness Returns, though! You’ll find me chronically online and filled with brain rot, but I’m always happy to be here if you need me!
Zander (he/him)Partnership & Vibes Director
Hi, I'm Zander (MrRaccoon13) I'm the Vibes Director here at CMSA eSports, which includes Conflict Resolution, Community Partnerships, and Event Coordination. I run Book Club (assisted by Ez), co-run the Fortnite League with Banty, and I am a semi-regular participant in the D&D League. Outside of our leagues, I love to play survival games like Don't Starve, goofy games like Lethal Company, strategy games like Portal, and romance hot vampires in Baldur's Gate 3. When I'm not gayming, I like to read, do artsy stuff, and hang out in the city with friends. My favorite place is Kibbitznest and my favorite food is probably potatoes, tacos, or pasta. I have two cats named Mango and Lyra. If you want to hang out, find me at Maria's Bar in Bridgeport or the Book Club VC!
Banty (she/her)Leagues Director
Hi, I’m Banty, the Leagues Manager for CMSA! I’m pretty much always online, usually gaming. Whether it’s competitive titles like Fortnite and Overwatch, cozy farming sims like Dinkum and Stardew Valley, or any roguelike I can get my hands on, you’ll usually find me at my PC. When I do manage to log off, I love thrifting, (attempting) painting, and hanging out with my two cats, Loki and Percy.
Alec (he/him)Systems Director
As our Systems Director I handle programming the website, managing our Discord and Twitch, and maintaining internal systems for eSports! I am a huge fan of sci-fi (Star Wars, The Expanse, Foundation, etc) and I grew up playing the silliest Halo 3/Reach customs with friends. In 2023, I joined eSports after seeing the CMSA booth at C2E2 and joined the League of Legends league shortly thereafter. After a season I got permission to streamline the leaderboard and by the next LoL season cmsaesports.com was born! Since then, I've been helping other leagues streamline their scorekeeping and couldn't be happier to grow our online community!
