GassyMexican
Family
He has a Siberian Husky.
Gaming Origins
GassyMexican grew up playing video games with his older brother. One of the first games that he played was SkiFree on his parents’ Windows PC.
As a teenager, he was addicted to Halo 2. He eventually started recording glitch videos on his DVD recorder that he connected to his Xbox. He would then transfer it to his PC and the change the format and edit the content before uploading it.
When he was growing up, he always knew that he wanted to go into the entertainment industry, possibly in connection to voice over work. He would often practice his different voices when no-one else was home, because he was a bit self-conscious about it.
Prior to streaming fulltime, he completed his degree at Grant Community College and then worked a few different odd-jobs including deck-laying and working at Home Depo while he created YouTube videos in his free time.
Professional Gaming
When he was still quite small, he would go to conventions and the Machinima offices, which is where he met future members of The Creatures. In 2009 Kootra reached out to ChilledChaos, GassyMexican, Sp00nerism and ZeRoyalViking to found a collaborative streaming channel called The Creature Hub. GassyMexican remained a member of The Creatures until November 2012, when he was asked to leave by two of its members.
He then went on to focus solely on his own channel, although he still occasionally produces content with some of his friends from The Creatures. During his early steaming days, he also made friends with other streamers purely online, including GoldGlove and Diction. He has been creating collaborative stream content with the Late Shift since 2018.
Relationships
He has a long-term girlfriend.
Income
GassyMexican has ~3,385 subscribers, which should minimally generate him a monthly income of ~$8,460 USD per month. This excludes additional revenue from sources such as tiered subscriptions, advertisements, Sponsorships, tips, Twitch cheer bit contributions, and merchandise sales.
Streaming Hours
Almost daily from ~00:00 UTC.
Quotes

Getting used to hearing your voice recorded, no-one likes that the first time too… It’s a common fear with most people when they’re starting out. It’s not a natural thing to do, to just sit behind a mic, you’re playing by yourself, no-one’s around, like if you’re doing a single commentary or whatever, and just talk to yourself. That’s not a normal thing to do and it takes a bit of time to get used to that. So, practice makes perfect and… be open to doing new things. Get out of your comfort zone. I know it’s easier said than done, but honestly that’s what you’ve got to do. You’ve gotta be open to trying new things and meeting new people.
