Past experiences as staff:
I have had a variety of staff experiences. I have been playing Garry’s Mod off and on for about 10 years. I have had the honor of being staff on at least four DarkRP servers, once on a sandbox server, and once on a Star Wars RP server. I also have experience in starting a few communities on different games that would regularly have over 100 members in them. Two of the games in which I developed a strong community were “Star Wars Battlefront 2” and “Halo 4”.
Why should we choose you over other applicants?:
The first reason why I think I would be an effective addition to the staff team is the prior administration experience that I have in Gmod. As I stated previously, I have had the honor to be staff on at least 4 DarkRP servers, a sandbox server, and a Star Wars RP server. I helped start up and craft the staff team for three of the DarkRP servers, and the experience I have had staffing would effectively translate to my time staffing for Garnet if I am lucky enough to have the opportunity. Through this staffing experience, I have learned how to have as much of a positive effect on the community as possible. One of my favorite things that stemmed from me being staff was the relationships that I was able to cultivate with members of the community, which is something that I have already taken enjoyment in doing during my time in Garnet. I plan on only expanding upon this if my application is approved, as one of my main priorities would be to ensure that everyone is enjoying their time as a community member.
Another reason why I think I’d be a beneficial addition to the staff team is because of the level of value I place on being just. I greatly value a fair environment, and I will do anything I can to uphold the rules put forth by my management to encourage a fair environment for the Garnet community. Through this focus on fairness, I am able to be extremely understanding and unbiased which I think is an imperative trait for an effective staff member.
I am also extremely confident that the experience that I have cultivated through different scenarios and positions I have held in my life will translate to me being a superb staff member. I am a serial entrepreneur and have been rolling the dice with different businesses for years now. I have started up a variety of ventures and have managed employees along the way. I also served as the President of Finance for my fraternity for a period of time, which truly tested my ability to productively manage the finances of the general organization and monitor over 50 guys' payment plans. Before I took the seat, the organization had tens of thousands in debt, which I proudly zeroed out by my time leaving the position.
The final reason to why I feel I‘d be a great staff member is the level of passion and appreciation that I hold for this server and the community as a whole. I have met a variety of individuals who have made my time here exceptional, and I enjoy passing this forward by making others' experiences on the server exceptional. I truly respect each community member and staff member that I come across due to me holding a deep level of appreciation for this server and those who enjoy playing on it.
All-in-all, I think that through my prior staffing experience, my prior leadership experience, the level of value that I hold towards upholding a fair environment, and the level of appreciation that I have towards the Garnet Gaming Community, that I will be a great addition the Garnet Gaming DRP Staff Team. I think that through all of this, I have truly learned the value of being a positive figure in a community and I plan on continuing to do just that as a potential staff member of Garnet Gaming. Regardless of what happens I am grateful for the relationships I have built thus far and the experiences that have been cultivated from them and I can't wait to continue this going forward.

How much time do you have to contribute to the role?: I can confidently say that I can contribute at least 25-30 hours a week.
