I am a community-first Charity Creator and Cat-Dad raising money for Boston Children’s Hospital through Extra Life. To raise money, I play Minecraft, Disney, D&D, Nintendo, and more! My long-term project is creating Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, in vanilla Minecraft.
I have been creating content for a long time, and I’ve been raising money for Boston Children’s Hospital through Extra Life for almost that whole time. Together with my amazing community of family and found-family, we have raised over $24.000 over the years!
Personally, I have a long history with Boston Children’s (read more here), and as of December 2024 I started working for Boston Children’s on the Bloodmobile helping collect 95% of the whole blood used to support the kids at the hospital. Boston Children’s is (literally) in my blood and any help you can provide makes a HUGE difference.
In Minecraft, I’ve been running a server called Monkey Mines since 2009 (in some form or another) and our forever world is hosting my Walt Disney World mega-build. I build on it in spurts, sometimes with months in between, but it’s a fun project, even though it’s taken a lot longer than I thought it would (and I thought it would take a long time for sure)!
