Life has been nothing short of happy accidents for the man behind DataDave.

It’s no wonder Cherry was among the first picks by Twitch to don their highly covetedTwitch Ambassadortitle.
A trendsetter and infectious force, Cherry is the personification of perseverance.
“I didn’t expect anything (with streaming).
I just wanted to see what would happen… and it’s been great.”
This freedom of association has moved its way into his adult life.
His father helped show him how to build computers, which he credits for his current-day interests in tech.
Nourishing all his passions and interests has allowed Cherry to become a creative, fearless man.
His foray into streaming came on a whim.
Nearly six years ago, he connected with a friend who happened to stream.
As is often the case with Cherry, he decided it was interesting and dived headfirst into research.
His stream is a mystery box of amusement.
The most rewarding thing for Cherry has been the tight-knit, welcoming, and hilarious community around him.
He expected the worst after coming out of the closet three years ago.
However, his audience did not switch up.
All of his fears turned to joy as his community surrounded him with the affirmation he needed.
“My community has been more comfortable to speak whatever truth they choose, and I love that.”
Cherry is looking forward to treading new ground in 2022.
This is the year things get a bit more digital for DataDave.
The most recent thing to catch his eye?
The virtual motion capture-enabled possibilities have provided Cherry with a new niche to tackle in the content space.
Above all, his number one guiding force is to have fun and create lifelong experiences.
