1.) What is the one thing you love about your community?
UnderstandingI try to build a place that caters to everyone but the one thing that will always be a priority is mental health and the community is 1000% supportive no matter what we set out to do we are together moving forward and being there for each other.
2.) How did you get into content creation/gaming?
I was medically retired from the Army and move to Germany. I mean I played video games either way and wanted to try a new hobby and so I started doing the research and looked into what it takes to stream!
3.) What was the best video game and worst video game you have ever played? Why?
The best and worst video game i have ever played is the one i play all the time Destiny 2. It is so dynamic and it has so many amazing things to it but it is a love-hate relationship and sometimes it makes it very difficult.
4.) If you could collab with a community or influencer, who would it be?
I honestly don’t have an answer to this I mean I get to talk with a lot of amazing creators and I am able to enjoy gaming with even more I don’t think I could choose any one creator but I do love the Destiny 2 creator community there are so many positive people there.
5.) Who inspired you to start creating content or continues to inspire you?
My friends Mexy Moo, Sicomundo, and Space13eer. One a fellow Soldier and the other two I have been gaming with for 11 years and they were the ones who told me to try streaming what could it hurt you are retired now anyways.
6.) What is something you want people to know about you?
That I wont forget where I came from or the people that helped me get there because tomorrow it could all be gone.
7.) We have gone 5 years into the future, what does your content look like?
I really don’t know my community has just recently started to express interest in me doing IRL streams around Europe and since I live there that kind of makes things easier to do so i hope that could be a thing, helping people see the world from the comforts of their own homes.
8.) What advice would you give to the next new creator that you wish you were given?
Do your research, if you make it to the point where you are making an income even $5 make sure you start doing your research, taxes, equipment, networking don’t just jump in blind and expect things to work out or that every person will have your best interest in mind, do your research.
9.) You get to go on a vacation anywhere. Where do you go and what’s the first thing you eat/drink?
If you are asking where i am going on vacay you had better ask Frau Shaafes she makes the plans but I stick to trying new and local dishes and nothing beats a cold beer and a cold glass of sparkling water
10.) Finally, if you were any animal, what would you be and why?
A Bear. I see bears as a protective animal, a family animal, and my wife has always called our kids little bears so why change it.
