Pence Family Gaming is a passion project born from decades of fascination with technology, electronics, and the art of gaming. I’m Brandon, and I’m thrilled to share this adventure with you as I guide my kids through the exciting world of retro and modern gaming systems, blending hands-on learning with cutting-edge innovation. You’re invited to join us on this journey of discovery, where we’ll explore console upgrades, create in-depth tutorials, and celebrate the joy of gaming together.

As an adult, I turned my passion into a thriving PC-building business run from my garage, a testament to years of learning and enthusiasm. But when PC component shortages hit, I pivoted to my first love: retro consoles. I poured my energy into customizing and upgrading classic systems, sharing detailed video tutorials on YouTube that resonated with a growing audience. Alongside this, I launched esports centers, creating vibrant spaces for gamers to connect and compete. Though COVID forced those centers to close, it gave me the chance to focus on my growing family and channel my expertise into creating accessible, high-quality tutorials for enthusiasts worldwide.

My love for technology sparked young, captivated by the relentless evolution of computer graphics and gameplay. As a kid with limited means, I tinkered endlessly with our family’s modest eMachines PC, dreaming of building a powerhouse rig capable of running any game. At 13, I dove into console modding with the original Xbox, crafting custom cases adorned with vibrant lights—some of my earliest YouTube videos still showcase those Xbox 360 mods.
