Jess (Aphmau)

Jessica or Jess, better known as Aphmau, is an online YouTube personality commonly known for Minecraft roleplays.

YouTube Channel
Aphmau had the idea to a YouTube channel with her three friends Castor (Calvin), Dom (Jason), and Satiel (Chris) from seeing YouTubers at the time making a career from commentating on them playing video games. The channel Challenge Accepted Inc. was created on August 13, 2012. Later, Jess's other friends left the YouTube channel, leaving it to Jess and Dom. They renamed the channel to Aphmau Gaming. 3 years after creating the channel, Aphmau Gaming is closing in on 1 million subscribers! On the channel you can find mini games and many roleplay series including the hit Minecraft Diaries series, Mod Mod World, Minecraft Kindergarten, and many more.

History
Jessica was born in Houston, Texas on October 16, 1989 with both parents and a half-brother who was 13 years older than her, yet she always just referred to as her brother. Her parents separated a couple years after her birth because of a lot of differences. Afterwards she, her brother, and her mom went to live with her grandparents, aunt, and multiple cousins. Her brother and eventually all her cousins had gaming consoles except for her yet she was shown to be very keen to games. Her parents shared custody of her so every other week she went to go live with her father which she said was "nice because I got to get away from a hectic house every now and then."

Eventually her mother moved back in with her father for a period of time. It was at this time when she got her first gaming console which was an N64, Jess remembered going to Best Buy with her parents who blindfolded her for an unknown reason only to be lead to a shelf full of N64s, at which they took off the blindfold, and she was so excited from that moment that she cried.

During elementary school Jess made many friends through her interest in video games. Yet she was also considered to be "too nice" at times with examples of her giving her lunch money to those who didn't have food. This lead to bullying that caused her to become introverted throughout elementary. During the events of 9/11 Jess' father pulled her out of school in order to be home schooled for a year during middle school.

During her transition from middle to high school Jess got into online gaming with her first online game being FreQuency for the PlayStation 2. The game that was said to change her life was Final Fantasy XI Online in 2004 (she was a Mithra, aka a cat girl). In 2005 she met an in-game warrior named Dom, who's real name was Jason. Over time they began dating taking trips from Texas to New Jersey as that's where Jason lived.

When Jess turned 18 she moved out to be with Jason and got a tuxedo cat that they named Johnny. They got an apartment while Jess went to college to study business management.



In 2012, Jess found out she was pregnant the same year Jason planned to propose to her. They got married earlier than planned at Disney World. They moved from their apartment into a house they had saved up for. While waiting for the baby Jason and Jess found themselves watching lots of YouTube and being amazed the the idea of making a carrier off of what you loved. As Jess had already planned to be a stay at home mom, she and Jason talked about starting a YouTube channel with her being the personality and Jason taking the technical side. In July of 201X, Jess gave birth to her son Joseph via C-section.

After getting adjusted to being parents, Jess and Jason started a YouTube channel with her high-school friends Calvin (Castor) and Chris (Satiel). But due to their own personal reasons each had to leave the channel. They all still play games together however at times.

After running a small channel for a while Jess even tried to make an Iron & Coal server to exist along side one of her series. This server was soon closed to her having Joseph.

After finding out she was pregnant again, Jess gave another C-section birth in January 2014 to her daughter Julia.

Jason
Jason, also known by his online alias as Dom, is Jess' husband who she has been married to for 3 years. They met in 2005 over Final Fantasy XI. They got married in March of 2012 at Disney World resort in Florida, and have since then had two children, Julia and Joseph.
