History[]

Lamarr started his career in the customer service business working with technology, which got him interested in helping everyday people. This led to Lamarr working as an elementary school educator for 9 years, assisting in the education of children grades 1–8. He used comedy and a quirky/fun personality to reach the inner-city kids who struggled to learn the traditional way, which led to marked success. He also became a technology coordinator which enabled him to help more students at once with his passion of technology. In 2006, he left to start his own technology consulting business, working with over 50 schools in the Chicago area. He taught administrators & teachers how to integrate technology in the classroom, using the same comedic techniques to break down the barriers to learning. Lamarr discovered YouTube in 2008 and used it as a fun way to educate & entertain a greater number of people, which led to him creating fun & informative videos full time in 2011 to the present day.

Personal life[]

During his free time, Lamarr enjoys playing video games from Nintendo, Xbox, & mobile, along with gadgets, recreational reading including comic books (and their accompanying movies/TV series). He enjoys most genres of music; Michael Jackson being his all-time favorite musician/performer.
