I'm a dad, streaming my life on Twitch. How did I get here?
Growing up I was super curious about anything you could take apart. Most of my toys were disassembled so I could see how they worked. In school I studied industrial design. During my final school year I applied for a part time job as a nightclub photographer and that led me to a career in photography. 10 years later I looked back at my life realising I've spent most of my adult life slipping on banana peels, capturing opportunities as the came.
One night in a hotel room after a photoshoot I turned on the TV and there was a dota tournament being played. Casters were screaming and lots of blinking lights as the heros casted their spells. At the time I was not a gamer so this was new to me. I kept watching and after 2 hours I was sold. To me it felt like watching football or any other sport and soon after that I found Twitch.
March 2016 I started streaming myself playing Dota 2. Following summer at a party I met a girl named Siri who also streamed gaming on Twitch. Her first impression of me was "The most obnoxious person I've ever met!" but I knew we would end up together and so we did (2017.01.25). We planned to move to Stockholm, but after selling her apartment we did not find a place we liked so I said, "Why not move out to the empty house on my parents farm for a while until we find a place?". After the first summer there on the farm we fell in love with living in the woods and gave up on the city life. We had 4 fantastic years on the farm before we bought a house in a rural village about less than an hour from the east coast of Sweden.
I kept streaming, but my stream never took off and 2019 I gave up on streaming.
But one day Siri was browsing her streams archive and it gave me an idea. To document not just our gaming, but our entire life. Video that would act as a photo album for when we get old. I had a gopro laying around and Siri had a rig for IRL streaming. So I strapped the gopro to my chest and went live. The response has been far better than I could ever have hoped for! 2020.06.12 I got partnered on Twitch after 31 broadcasts and I'm increadibly greatful for all the support.
