Name Origins

In the 1990s, he used the tag RSF_SWATKat for Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear, as he was a fan of the SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadran TV show at the time. However, in 1999, he was moving into high school and decided that he needed a cooler name for AOL. His school mascot was a tiger, so he had wanted to go with a tiger-variant name, but they were all taken. So, he went with LeopardStealth and that has been his in-game handle ever since.

Gaming Origins

Leopard’s first foray into create video content was in 1999 when he recorded some Rainbow Six PC gameplay with his cousins. However, his main gaming was on various PlayStation and Xbox console, on which he primarily played various Halo and other fps games. In fact, it was only in early 2018 that he got back into PC gaming with PlayerUnknown’s Underground (PUBG) after learning that Destiny 2 would be implemented mainly as a PC game.

What he found to be really helpful during this transition was when DrLupo saw him at Guardian Con 2018 and gave him a Hori Tac Pro, as it came with a thumb-stick which was more familiar to him.

Prior to streaming fulltime, he graduated with a degree in BS Management Information Systems from Florida State University and worked as a Software Developer from 2007 to December 2018.

Professional Gaming

He began uploading Destiny content to his YouTube channel in 2014.He received his Twitch partnership on September 18, 2016. He transitioned to fulltime streaming on January 1, 2019 on a one-year trial basis. It has since become an indefinite decision. He has since moved on to become a variety streamer, as he wasn’t as enthusiastic about Destiny 2.

His wife was fully supportive of this decision, and even encouraged him to do it before he was fully comfortable with the idea himself.

Income

According to his Twitch overlay, Leopard has ~1,885 subscribers to his channel. As he generally has ~165 viewers per session, this would mean that he earns a base monthly income of least $4,710 USD per month. This excludes other income that he receives from tiered subscriptions, advertisements, donations, Twitch cheer bit contributions, merchandise sales, and sponsorships.
