I’ve had just about every job there is. I’ve dressed in velvet ball gowns at Disney World, been guilty of murder at a dinner theatre, and offered to pour coffee in TV commercials. It probably comes as no surprise, then, that I responded to a Craigslist ad calling for Trivia Night Hosts back in January 2012. I quickly moved on to Sales, followed by Management, and finally, Marketing, where I now manage big picture efforts to spread our love of Trivia to the world. When I’m not spreading the love, I have dance parties in my living room, listen to funky jazz music, and daydream about a better world.All Posts

How did you first hear about or get involved with Last Call Trivia?

I used to go to a show run by a great host named Woody and he eventually caught on as a Last Call host and our team followed him to his new venue. When he decided it was time to hang up the mic, he asked me if I was interested in being his replacement. The rest, as they say, is history.

What is your favorite thing about Last Call?

I like that Last Call games are set up in such a way to be challenging for league teams and still accessible for first-timers. The games have a great format that’s easy to follow and balanced enough to not be boring.

How long have you been involved with Ludimentis?

I have been at every single Ludimentis is some capacity. The very first year I was running around the Duke Energy Center like a mad man collecting answers and joking with teams and having the time of my life. Since then I’ve been a scorekeeper and last year I was trusted with handling the raffle tickets and presenting those prizes.

What is your favorite part of Ludimentis?

It’s not only a celebration of trivia in general but of the whole Last Call Nation! I’ve met teams from Phoenix to Portland and Pittsburgh at these events. It’s always so amazing to see people come from far away to play at a huge trivia event like this.

What are you looking forward to as this year’s Ludimentis host?

Well, I am the first Ludimentis host from Louisville! I’m excited to represent my city as the host this year.

How has being involved with Last Call and Ludimentis affected or changed your life?

I’m actually a pretty shy person when I’m not behind the microphone, so hosting with Last Call has gotten me out there and meeting people that I wouldn’t normally have ever been able to introduce myself to. I’m met a lot of friends working with Last Call and I’m forever grateful for that!

Anything else you want to tell us?

I’m just excited for another great Ludimentis, and since I’m the host, I think it’ll be the best one yet (insert smiley face emoji thing here).

Ludimentis is a game of the mind. It’s a gathering of all of our Trivia lovers from across the country for some good ol’ fashioned competition.
