Twitch Hall of Fame @Twitch
I am feeling totally overwhelmed, but I wanted to write this while everything was fresh. To be the first broadcaster inducted to the hall of fame is a immense honor, there are many deserving broadcasters and I was completely shocked it was me.
Almost 4 years ago I quit my job to pursue streaming as a career and do the two year live stream challenge. The Internet has treated me with extraordinary kindness, supported me and helped me reach my goal of being able to provide for my family through streaming. I am eternally grateful to everyone who has played a part in this. While it is awesome to be recognized via this award I fully understand that I would not be here if it was not for the people that had faith in me, community, family and friends.
I would also like to thank the twitch staff, they have provided me with the tools to succeed and have always been there when I needed them. Around day 150 of my two year live stream challenge a staff recommended me for the sub button feature. Back then sub buttons were very rare and I was given a great opportunity and the tool that allowed me to move forward with a renewed confidence.
The past four years have been an incredible journey and I owe my success to all the people that have supported me along the way. THANK YOU!
