hey what is going on guys lon here from Android Authority and today's video is going to be all about me and I know a lot of you guys have been wondering who exactly it is that I am what am I doing here on Android authority of stuff like that I've seen it in the comments section so today I'm going to try to answer that question and on top of answering that question I'm going to give you five facts about me to give you guys the chance to know me a little bit better both inside the world of tech and outside of it as well so with that being said let's go ahead and get started all right so starting off with FAQ number one and this is probably going to be the most obvious fact of them all and that is my love for technology and my passion for it and my love for technology extends beyond smartphones and tablets I also love other things like cameras computers cars a huge fan of cars I don't drive the fanciest car in the world I have a Scion tC that I've done some stuff to so it's not the fanciest thing in the world but I do love that car and I've loved working on it I don't really do a whole lot of to it anymore because it kind of got a little bit expensive but I'll show you guys what it looks like or what it used to look like anyways it looks a little bit different now but just to give you guys a general idea of what my car looks like and what I've done to it so I really love technology and that is essentially what got me here to Android authority one day I just decided to reach out to them on a whim I didn't really think too much about it I just you know shot them an email saying hey I really love technology I love talking about it and I also have experience with making videos so it's not like I just you know randomly start making videos on a whim I have made videos before in the past I have my own personal channel that I make videos for and that essentially sort of served as a resume if you will as far as reaching out to the guys here Android Authority letting them know you know my love for technology and my experience with making videos etc so I reached out to them didn't really hear back for a few weeks but I didn't really think about it at all I just you know I just kind of forgot about it to be honest with you but I eventually heard back and we after that it was pretty much history from that point on we just sort of talked about all the different details and my particular role on the Android authority team and Here I am now making videos for you guys getting to do what I love getting to talk about technology for a living so it's pretty awesome and I've been having a good time doing it hopefully you guys have been enjoying it as well but hopefully that answers your question as to where it is that I came from what am i doing on android authoritative fact number one moving along to fact number two and fact number two is as much as I love technology and as passionate as I am about it it's actually not my number one passion my number one passion is actually dancing I am actually a b-boy or breakdancer if you want to call it that I also do hip hop choreography as well and I've done some other styles outside of my comfort zone like ballroom ballroom is actually a lot of fun if you like partner stuff so I thoroughly enjoy that but I've been dancing for a while now I'm 27 about to be 28 my birthday is on June 1st if you really must know so it is coming up but I've been dancing ever since I was 16 or 17 so it's been a while now I didn't start dancing without when I was a kid or anything like that but still a pretty long time and the reason why I started dancing was because in high school I never really fit in and everybody sort of you know had their own thing they either played football or baseball or something like that and I wanted a way to sort of identify myself so I started dancing and I always a hat I always had a fascination with dancing every time I saw somebody do any sort of breakdancing in a video or something like that I always thought it was really cool so one day I figured why not give it try so I decided to go on YouTube and just look up a bunch of tutorials on how to dance most specifically breakdancing and this is back in the day when YouTube was like still in like 240p 360p all that stuff but there was actually quite a handful of breakdancing tutorials on YouTube and just tutorials on how to dance in general so I just started watching these tutorial videos and started teaching myself and once I actually started learning of different moves I realized that I thoroughly enjoyed dancing and that was really when I started to fall in love with dancing and I've been doing it ever since it's become a huge passion of mine and a very big part of my life a very influential part of my life and it's it's Who I am as a person I just love to dance and I will continue to keep on dancing for as long as I am able to I don't have any videos of me dancing but I do have some photos which I will post up so you guys can sort of see me in action but dancing has become a very big part of my life and it's what I like to do when I'm feeling stressed out and I just want to get away from the rest of the world everybody sort of has that one thing whether it's playing the guitar singing or reading a book whatever it is that you do to sort of get away from everything dancing is what I like to do and again I will continue to do it for as long as I am able to so next up is FAQ number three and that is this guy right here which I shamefully admit I have not framed up yet but fact number three is I have an accounting degree so I did go to college and I did graduate I went to the University of Missouri Kansas City which is known as UMKC not to be confused with University of Missouri which is known as mu they are affiliated schools but completely different schools altogether mu is probably going to be the school that you're going to be more familiar with but UMKC is where I went for five years and the reason why I chose accounting was because I was really good at math so I figured why not go for accounting but once I took a few courses I realized there was not quite as much math in all as I had hoped and there was more comprehensive and analytical thinking but I stuck with anyways and I graduated with the degree I graduated in December of 2009 so it's been a while since I graduated and although I'm not currently using my degree right now I'm still very proud of the fact that I went to college and that I actually graduated so to me that is an accomplishment in and of itself but yeah that is fact number three I have in accounting degree so I mentioned that I went to the University of missouri-kansas city and in fact number four is I'm actually a Kansas City native as well I've lived here my entire life I was born and raised here in Kansas City and Kansas City isn't the biggest city in the entire world it's a little bit bigger than a city like st. Louis but definitely a lot smaller than a city like Chicago and something a lot of people don't really know about Kansas City is that it actually sits on the border of Kansas and Missouri so there's actually a Kansas City Kansas in a Kansas City Missouri but most of the time when people hear Kansas City they tend to just think of Kansas but it's actually on the Missouri side as well which is the side that I happen to live on and being from Kansas City I am naturally a Kansas City Chiefs fan I love the Kansas City Chiefs I don't really care about the Royals too much most because I don't really like baseball all that much but I am a huge fan of the Chiefs I love the Chiefs and yes it is tough being a Chiefs fan because they don't have that many great seasons but I'd like to support my hometown team and I love them win or lose but Kansas City is also known for their barbecue so if you've ever been here you'll know that there's a ton of barbecue places around here and it's also the city of fountains so there's also a crap-ton of fountains as well but the thing that I love most about Kansas City is that it's a big enough City that there's always something fun to do but it's not so big that traffic is terrible or anything like that okay so we're finally here on to fact number five and I actually couldn't think of a fifth back so I decided to just switch it up a bit and give you guys a bunch of smaller facts about me so my favorite superhero is this guy right here spider-man that's my favorite superhero my second favorite super hero is this guy right here Iron Man and the Iron Man 3 movie sucked by the way this movie wasn't too bad though but yeah spider-man and Iron Man are my two top favorite superheroes I love Marvel in general Marvel I'm a huge Marvel nerd huge Marvel geek I remember as a kid I watched all of the 90s cartoons so spider-man Iron Man x-men The Hulk Fantastic Four whatever it was you name it I watched it so I'm really big Marvel geek DC's all right I like Batman but other than that I don't really care for DC too much one of the most influential artists or celebrities whatever you want to call him in my life is actually Michael Jackson I'm a huge huge Michael Jackson fan I remember as a kid I was very obsessed with his music and his dancing I watched him all the time on TV and I always wanted to learn how to moonwalk and I eventually did learn how to do it it took me a few years oddly enough but I still think Michael Jackson does the best moonwalk ever and he was also one of the reasons why I wanted to learn how to dance I thought he was a fantastic dancer and he always had a way of making some of the most simplistic moves look like the biggest moves in the world and that was what I thought was so special about a guy like him besides his music and I know a lot of people say a lot of bad things about him but you can't deny that he's a great artist and a great dancer and I was actually very sad in the day that he passed away because I'm such a huge fan and he was so influential to me and the things that I do with my life so huge fan of Michael Jackson my first cellphone ever was the Motorola V 300 and back in the day that phone was pretty awesome I remember being obsessed with it because you could actually get real mp3 ringtones on it so actually real songs versus just you know the generic ringtones like the hello moto and all that stuff so I remember being obsessed with that phone and my first smartphone ever was the mytouch 3G slide also happens to him first Android phone ever and if you remember that phone or if you had that phone that phone was a pain in the butt to root it took hours to root it but phones nowadays are so easy to root because there's all these different one-click methods and auto routes and all that stuff so it's not really that big of a deal now but back in the day that phone was really hard to root and that sort of jump-started my interest into Android and once I got the mytouch 3G slide I sort of started jumping from phone to phone after that because I became so obsessed with having the latest and greatest phone if you're a UFC Fan if you like MMA my favorite fighter is lyoto machida he's not really all that good anymore but I still love them anyways got to support that guy I think he's pretty awesome as far as music goes I pretty much listen to a little bit of everything so I'm not really picky with my music but lately I've been on a high-energy kick so a lot of dubstep a lot of electronica type stuff big fan of artists like Calvin Harris Avicii Steve Aoki Bassnectar deadmau5 of anyone else you can think of I've probably listened to them a big fan of high-energy type music especially for dancing I think it's great for that sort of stuff but I think that is really all that I can think of right now I don't really have much else to say so I'm going to end this video right here hopefully you guys did enjoy it and hope you guys learned a little bit about me both inside the world of technology and outside of it as well but thank you so much for watching guys give it a thumbs up if you did enjoy it and as always keep it locked on Android authority as we are
