I was 12 when I started my YouTube channel because of my obssession with playing the claw machine. I dreamt and breathed it 24/7. Being homeschooled gave me the time to pursue that passion, I always got my work done because I knew my reward…my mom driving me to the nearest Walmart to play the claw machine.
At age 14, I managed to buy my first unmanned arcade at a shopping mall which had about 8 machines. For me, it was all about seeing people have a lot of fun which made me happy.
Now it's become about giving more... than having more

Committed To Making a Difference
In 2024, Joystick Arcades is planning to build a community center in a rural area of the Philippines where my mom was born.
We’re working with her nonprofit, Soul Care Journey whose mission is to create a safe space for people to become emotionally healthy.
We’d like to invite you to partner with us in building a safe place where a community can have fun while also providing shelter during catastrophic typhoons that strike several times a year.
This is more than just building a community center. It goes way deeper. It’s about being there for a rural area, understanding the struggles they face every time a natural disaster hits, and they’re left having to rebuild over and over again.
It’s about meeting their needs, being a support system when it matters most. We’re in this to make a real difference, to lend a hand when the going gets tough.
This is more than a project; it’s about heart, resilience, and being there for this community that holds a special place in our hearts, in times of challenge.
Pastor Elmer Ramos and his wife Frances say they’ve been praying for more than 10 years for a larger space to accommodate the needs of their community.
Would you like to join us in being a part of their answered prayer? 🙂
