  Why Boom

  I thrive in exactly the environment Boom describes — fast-paced, high-ownership, and sports-obsessed. I don’t wait to be told what’s broken; I find it, flag it, and fix it. I’ve grown up watching the rise of DFS in the US and I want to be part of the team that brings that energy to every fan. Boom’s track record of nearly $100 million in player prizes tells me this product is real, and I want to help protect and grow the community behind it.
