About Me

Where does someone that doesn't like talking about themself even begin? Well, I was raised by wolves in a forest until I was old enough to start hanging out in the jungle alone. It was about then that I met a bear and a panther and we started kickin it, but the bear and the panther had different opinions on how I should be spending my time. So I bounced out of there and moved to Oregon where I was living in the woods when I got into it with some local law enforcement and had to kill them all just to survive but they drew first blood! so it wasn't really my fault and later I had to destroy their whole town. It was a whole thing.

Okay seriously though, my name is Jeff but everyone calls me Geef, Bird, or Geefbird. I got into streaming around 2014 but had to give it up for a job shortly after that and I was MIA from the creator scene for about 4 years or so when things in life just weren't going that great for me so I started streaming again just to make myself feel better. That was going pretty well but then I also went through a bit of a rough patch to say the least and I wasn't very consistent with streaming or anything. I was losing myself in a big way and life was just spiraling.

Cut to a couple years later I completely bottomed out, got hurt pretty bad, and I couldn't do anything. The level of depression I fell into is not something I can put into words... things got dark

So I decided to start streaming again full time and really make it count. I found happiness in that and peace in the consistency of it all so I just kept going. I made new friends, I built a community, and I started playing with some new toys. Right around that time Touch Portal came out and I was in heaven creating things for that and getting to know the stream automation game. Then a little later Streamer.Bot released to the public and I was blown away! The amount of things you could do and create were limitless and my only limitation was the lack of knowledge that I had. So I just kept learning and growing and eventually got pretty good at creating things and dare I say it even better at teaching other people to achieve the same results. So I started creating content for YouTube to help others on a much wider scale than I could by just streaming. I found another passion that really kept me going and made me feel great.

I love to help others grow and create and I get great joy from seeing people win. As much as I really appreciate the kind words and encouragements from people over the years the thing that really keeps me going is knowing where I was and how much I gained from streaming and from the journey learning to use the tools better. I want to give that to so many more people. I want people to know that they are never alone and even in their darkest times they always have a space where they can come and feel better, and that is their own streams or content. Working on it, creating for it, doing it! The journey is a wonderful one and I really hope that more people set out on the path of self improvement and growth.

Now then, enough mushy nonsense, WHY ARE WE HERE!?, well because I decided that I needed a better space to help people than just inviting them to my Discord. So I built a website and I now host all of my tutorials here, I am developing cool tools for creators to use and play with here, and because I tied it into my merch store so people could pay me money and make me rich here. Just kidding lol. But seriously, buy my shit.

The tools I started out with were made by some pretty great people and as good as they were there are always going to be edge cases and bugs with things that we as developers do not see coming and the biggest down fall of every single thing I have ever come across or used was communication. That is where I feel I really stand out in the crowd of creators. I am never unreachable and I try my hardest to be responsive to every single comment, message, or carrier pidgeon that comes my way for help with something I have built and even with things I had nothing to do with.

It's like my uncle always said, "With great knowledge comes lots of bullshit." Okay, no one ever said that... but what I am trying to say is what really motivates me and keeps me going is helping people. Here, offline, everywhere. I feel like the best gift we have to offer is our time and attention. Well, I guess that only applies if you lead a good life. Nobody wants the time and attention of a stalker or something... been there... fuck that

Okay this bio is officially too long now so if you read all of it come to a live stream and comment "That was dumb" and I'll send you some pineapples. kisses - Geef
