My gaming journey began with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), where I spent countless hours playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. My love for gaming truly evolved when a friend introduced me to online multiplayer with Ghost Recon 2. I was blown away by the idea of playing and talking with people worldwide. I quickly became competitive, playing on GameBattles, and eventually transitioned to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. From there, my obsession with the Call of Duty franchise took off. My all-time favorite? Black Ops 2, where I even won championships during my competitive gaming years.

Life took a different turn when I went to college at the Dublin Institute of Technology to study software development. I graduated in the top 3 of my class with the highest merit and worked as a front-end software developer for 8 years. However, when COVID hit, I started working from home and discovered Twitch in my free time. Watching others stream inspired me to give it a shot myself in June 2020—and I instantly fell in love.

For two years, I juggled streaming three days a week, creating content consistently, and working a full-time job. My hard work paid off, and I was able to leave my software career behind to pursue streaming full-time.

I take pride in my ability to entertain and engage with my audience at a high level. My goal is to make people smile, spread positivity, and have as much fun as possible every day. I truly believe it’s never too late to chase your dreams and passions. I didn’t start streaming until I was 30! So whatever it is you want to do, go for it and make it happen.
