Meet The Team
Jordan “ItsJordanB” Briney, Co-Owner/ Co-Founder
Combining both gaming and charity work, Jordan “ItsJordanB” Briney ran his first Extra Life charity event in 2014, which would spark the passion for helping others through gaming, eventually leading to the co-founding and co-ownership of Level Up For Charity.
Alongside with event design, Jordan has industry experience in esports. Dating back to 2016 and the grassroots of Rocket League, Jordan was a professional commentator and tournament organizer for various LAN and online events, eventually assisting with the premiere broadcast and admin work for the Rocket League Championship Series. Jordan has also assisted greatly in defining tournament structures for PUBG in its early days, and still works with various Super Smash Bros. Ultimate scenes as a tournament admin.
Now, alongside with co-owner and co-founder, Dylan “Dylan The Dude” Lange, Jordan hopes to take their work with broadcasting and charity events to the next level using the talents and experiences from both his esports and charity events planning background.
Dylan “Dylan The Dude” Lange, Co-Owner/ Co-Founder
Starting with his first Extra Life Event in 2015, Dylan knew he wanted to help others to the next level through the power of gaming. That’s where Dylan and Jordan teamed up to create Level Up For Charity, running an annual Extra Life event every year, then expanding on that format to other organizations since then!
With over 15 years industry experience, one could consider “The Dude” a veteran in the public radio space, spanning various shows, podcasts, and more either in front of the microphone himself, or producing them. Working with reputable organizations like NPR, Dylan has worked with some of the best in the business to help create some of the top shows in his local radio area, and produce for other top shows as well. Safe to say, Dylan will feel at home behind a mic, or behind a switchboard. Dylan also boasts a semi-pro career in Overwatch and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, playing for semi-pro teams across the nation for Overwatch, and competing or helping in multiple local tournaments on a regular basis in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. “Dylan The Dude” always brings the passion to whatever project that he’s doing, which has lead to his success in a variety of these industries.
Since 2016, Dylan has utilized his ability of organization, communication and experiences to help further propel Level Up For Charity every year alongside co-founder and co-owner, Jordan Briney and has used these abilities to help the world beat sickness to the next level.
