About

My name is Alex Sementelli. I am a 28 year old male currently living in Dallas, Texas. I graduated from the University of Tulsa with an Information Technology degree in 2013. Since then I have worked in various IT positions for a large corporation. In 2015 I began streaming Diablo 2 on Twitch under the username MrLlamaSC. Nine months later I became a Twitch Partner and have grown my stream into a business.

My favorite part of streaming on Twitch is simply getting to hang out with such an amazing community and being able to create a positive difference in others lives. Seeing how many people I can reach and impact on Twitch is what inspired me to create the Grow The Buck Up podcast in the first place.

I have always been frugal and extremely interested in finances. Growing up I never believed my parents/teachers/others who told me I would graduate from school and have to work for 40 years until I retired. Eventually I sat down and did the math and determined I could retire a lot earlier than that. I found the FIRE (Financial independence; Retire Early) community who agreed with me and now my hope is to simply inspire others to challenge tradition, retire early, and live a more fulfilling life.
