Published January 7, 2009

He's a gamer, a graphic design student, and a kicker for the Missouri Western State University Griffons. He also has an awesome Gamertag, so say "Go Griffs" to iSpaz!

trixie360: What's the story behind your Gamertag?

iSpaz: Good question. Ever since I got my first Xbox® and started playing Halo®, my brother and his friends would always tell me that it looked like my player was spazzing when trying to aim. So that's how the Spaz part came about, and the i simply stands for me. Put it all together and you got iSpaz.

iSpaz in action.

trixie360: Where do you live?

iSpaz: I live in St. Joseph, Missouri.

trixie360: What are you studying?

iSpaz: Right now, I am a student athlete at Missouri Western State University. Go Griffs! I am working towards getting my BFA in graphic design and I'm also the kicker for the football team here.

trixie360: What's the worst or weirdest job you've ever had?

iSpaz: Picking tractor parts at Case New Holland (not fun at all!).

trixie360: How long have you been on Xbox LIVE®?

iSpaz: I have been on Xbox LIVE for about eight years now.

trixie360: Hmm, we've only been around for six years, but that's cool. Do you have an archenemy on Xbox LIVE?

iSpaz: Yes I do. The funny thing is we used to play in the same clan together and we are very good friends. He goes by iOther. He would always be just a couple kills ahead of me when we played Halo 2, and he was never shy to tell me what the final score was LOL.

iSpaz: Right now, I have a 46-inch Aquos Sharp with an average Philips Surround Sound system all stuffed inside my dorm room.

trixie360: What is your greatest Xbox LIVE moment?

iSpaz: Playing Halo on Turf, the score was 49-49 and no one was moving. With my hands shaking and also sweating, I decided I would be the one to go and hunt the people down. I found two crouching around, so I got a head shot on one, before they knew where I was.

iSpaz: "Dixie Land Delight" by Alabama.

iSpaz: Super speed, so when I kick off the football, I can fly down there and tackle the guy!
