What started as a casual trip to E3 2016 to check out the Destiny 2 launch turned into a life-changing moment when I stumbled across the Beam (soon to become Mixer) booth. That unexpected encounter lit the spark—and the rest is history.

​

Armed with nothing but a $12 microphone, my old graphic design laptop, and a massive dream, I went live for the first time—and just like that, my streaming career was born. I spent three incredible years growing on Mixer, building what would eventually become the foundation of the Lost City community. But in 2020, Mixer shut down, and I had to start over from scratch.

​

I took a deep breath and jumped headfirst into Twitch, rebuilding everything from the ground up. Through sheer determination (and more than a few sleepless nights), I hit Twitch Partner in 2020 and crossed a huge milestone—72,000+ followers and counting! Along the way, I launched the Pardon the Distraction podcast, and I’m now proud to say we’re deep into Season 3, featuring some of the most inspiring and creative voices in the space.

​

After some deep conversations with fellow creators and a lot of self-reflection, I decided to take a bold new step and move to Kick, a fresh and growing platform. Just three weeks in, I got Verified—and on October 9th, 2023, I hit another major milestone: I signed a contract with Kick as part of their Phase 2 Creator Program, officially becoming one of their second-round paid creators. Yes, you heard that right—a monthly salary to create content I love. It's a massive win, not just for me, but for creators everywhere, proving that passion and perseverance can pay off.

​

And now, in 2025, I’m incredibly proud to say I’ve been a full-time content creator for 10 years. Ten years of streams, edits, ups, downs, wins, fails, and constant evolution. Ten years of building something bigger than just a brand—a real community.

​

I owe this journey to the incredible support from sponsors and studios like Amazon Games, Marvel, Disney, Ubisoft, Square Enix, Capcom, Bungie, and so many others who believed in what I do. To my amazing wife—thank you. Without you, I’d probably still be trying to figure out how to plug in a mic. To my mods, friends, and creator fam—you’ve had my back through every step.

​

But above all, I want to thank you—my community, The Lost City Family. For the last 10 years, you’ve been my rock, my motivation, and my inspiration. Your support, love, and hype have made all of this possible. Big shoutout to my mod team for keeping the vibes right and making our community a safe, welcoming space to grow and game together.

​

I'm beyond grateful for how far we’ve come—and even more excited about where we’re headed.

See you there, fam. Let’s keep building.
