About Lazy Old Gamer
Grinding towards 100% and building a global community.
The Stream
I've been live on Twitch since April 6, 2025, going back to my gaming roots: Ratchet & Clank. We've been counting each death (over 1,500 ATM...whomp-whomp)! When not grinding for bolts, I'm dropping into new releases of great games on release day (!games in chat for the list) or getting scared in Resident Evil. We took a 28-day hiatus back in August 2025 due to severe flooding, but the silver lining is it turned me into a HVAC and basement fixit nerd, so I'm always up to chat about how to save a few bucks.
The Community
Honestly, at 40-something making new friends is dumb. That's exactly why this channel exists: to build a fantastic, welcoming community of awesome people from around the globe. I love meeting new viewers, chatting about life, and listening to your favorite music. Plus, you get to meet the real stars of the show: my 3-year-old Black Lab/Pitty mix, Zoe (subs unlock an animated Zoe emote!), and two tabby cats, Jake and Elwood. We just added a chat-controlled treat feeder so you can watch the cats feast live on stream!
The Geek Behind the Screen
Born in the late 1900s, I'm a lifelong Wisconsinite currently hanging out in Milwaukee. I spent 30 years in sales, business operations, & general IT magic. Now I'm a one-man MSP (I do occasionally have to pause the stream to take a call) and work with all sorts of tech like programming, self-hosted Unraid and Docker home labs, Ubiquiti magic, and even POTS lines for those who still remember what those are.
While my Sales/Management and IT career took over, I had a few past lives: Wedding DJ for over 300 events, held a Friday night club residency, even spun records at Summerfest! Always better behind the scenes, I kept the lasers on and subs thumpin' at 4AM, event security, ran a movie theater, did engraving, inbound telesales, Staples, even flipped burgers at McDonald's. I also have a tradition of growing my hair out to donate to Wigs for Kids, chopping it off every 4-5 years since I was a teen.
