Lanson's a licensed copyeditor with five years' experience in the writing and editing industry, working on books, magazines, web content, and the occasional light novel. Now, he writes evergreen content for THESPIKE.GG.

He got his gaming start on League of Legends, maining top-lane Pantheon on a Macbook Pro that barely reached 30 FPS. Since then, he's branched out to many different game genres, including card games with Magic: The Gathering, fighting games with Super Smash Bros., and—his most recent obsession—tactical shooter games with Valorant.

In his spare time, he enjoys... well, playing Valorant... and hitting the gym, chasing a four-plate deadlift, four-plate squat, and three-plate bench press. He also streams coworking sessions on Twitch, where you can often find his chat roasting his hairstyle, height, and choice of music.
