Shaun Byrne is the Esports Director for Saints Gaming (SaintsGaming.ca), the varsity esports program at St. Clair College in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. St. Clair College was the first post-secondary institution in Canada to fully embrace varsity esports. In January 2019, he launched the Esports Administration and Entrepreneurship academic program at St. Clair College, one of only a handful of programs in the world training students for careers in the esports industry. Prior to his positions at the college, Shaun founded and served as CEO for Esport Gaming Events, Inc. (EGE.gg) from 2012 until 2017. EGE hosted over 100 successful esports events in that five year span throughout Ontario, Quebec and Michigan, including Good Game Con in 2016, the largest, with over 3,000 live participants as well as Saints Gaming Live in 2017 which served as proof of concept for the esports programs at St. Clair College. While Shaun doesn't have as much time to play games these days, when he gets the opportunity his favorites are Super Smash Bros., and Fortnite.
