I’m Kesten Taylor, model, entrepreneur, investor, and social media enthusiast. I started my career as a professional gamer and content creator, and have since discovered my passion for modeling, technology, entrepreneurship, and investing.

Kesten’s journey in gaming began in his hometown of New Concord, where he discovered his passion for gaming at a young age. Initially, his parents were skeptical about the amount of time he spent playing, but they soon realized that Kesten’s time was paying off. He started earning money by playing professionally, and his skills in the game caught the attention of the Official Organized called “DooM Clan” in 2018. 

As a professional player of this org, Kesten competed in professional tournaments all over the United States, playing for millions of dollars. Despite the intense competition, Kesten’s talents in the game continued to shine.  

Kesten’s success in gaming didn’t stop there. He took his talents to Muskingum University, where he earned a full-ride scholarship and joined the Esports team as a Varsity team captain. Kesten proved to be an excellent leader and a talented player, leading his team to win two back-to-back National Championships, competing against many well-known Division 1 schools.  

His outstanding performance on the team did not go unnoticed, and Kesten was named “Player of the Year” and ranked the number one player in the United States. He also won many more awards, cementing his position as one of the best players in the country of gaming.  

With all of Kesten’s success in gaming, he was invited to the Ohio State Capitol, where the Senate and the House of Representatives honored him and the Esports team with two resolutions. Kesten’s achievements in gaming have not only made him a champion in the eyes of his peers, but also a trailblazer in the world of Esports for small town kids. 

Outside of gaming, Kesten’s passion for technology and social media led him to grow millions of followers over various social media platforms. Inspired by the world of social media and endless possibilities of the ever-growing industry, Kesten wanted a better understanding of how it all worked. He conducted his own research to see how each platform had its own recipe to success. He was able to use this information to his advantage alongside gathering his own analytics to obtain the best social media marketing strategies.

Kesten recently gained the attention of the modeling and fashion world where he has already gotten noticed by some top brands and photographers. Kesten plans to build his modeling portfolio has he takes a jump into this industry. His goals are to become a professional model alongside runway shows. He plans to document this part of his life on new social media accounts as he has regained his love for fashion.
