About me

The person behind the projects.

In my own words

Sam Barron

Atlanta, GA · Raised in Swainsboro, GA

I grew up in a small town called Swainsboro, Georgia. To escape the monotony of life in the South, I’d dream up worlds, make YouTube videos, and play games with my brothers.

I fell in love with Minecraft when it came out for the Xbox 360 in 2012. Since then, it’s never stopped being an excellent creative tool with infinite possibilities. I started writing in high school and would put out articles on Substack for all—pretty much just my mom—to see and enjoy.

I love thinking up new ideas and experiences that solve a problem in my own life. Hopefully, they solve a problem for you too!
