I am a broadcaster on Twitch.TV where I play games and focus on community building. I act as an "internet street performer" where I adopt an internet personality attempting to entertain my audience for free, and if they wish to reward my efforts, they can donate to charity. Many broadcasters do this to raise money for themselves, however, I do it to raise money for (currently) Gamers Outreach. I have guest starred on Random Podcast Generator and Overcoming Graduation to discuss how I and my community are bettering the world. The last non-profit I worked with was Extra Life For Kids. Extra Life is a nonprofit that helps fund children's hospitals. In half a year my channel has raised over $1,000. Show less
