Adam Montoya (born June 12, 1984), better known by his online alias SeaNanners, is a video game commentator on YouTube. He now commentates on games he plays with other commentators including Jordan Maron, Markiplier, Tom Cassell, and many other gaming personalities. He frequently collaborates with GassyMexican (who is well known in SeaNanners’ most-viewed video for his voice impressions, mainly that of Morgan Freeman), Chilled Chaos, Mr. Sark, Uncle Slam, Mangaminx/TheRPGMinx, Hutch, his girlfriend Cathy Diep, and as of 2015, BryceGames and RitzPlays. On February 5, 2016, Montoya announced that he will be the voice of Taskmaster in the mobile app game Marvel Avengers Academy.[1]

Career

Early life and work

After graduating from San Diego State, Montoya found job hunting to be difficult and discouraging. Instead of finding a stable employment, Montoya did freelance work such as filming weddings. During this time Adam, finding inspiration from other early YouTube gaming commentators, decided to record and upload his own game commentaries.[2]

Work with Machinima

On December 3, 2009, Montoya uploaded a video to his channel explaining that he is now partnered with Machinima Inc. and that they will be posting gameplay videos of his to their network channel.[3] On June 14, 2010, Montoya posted a video to his channel stating that he is a full-time employee of Machinima.[4]

JETPAK

On November 5, 2014, Montoya announced[5] that he and his associates have launched an MCN, JETPAK. The reason for the founding of the network was to create a network that did not contractually take advantage of YouTubers and their channels. The MCN is operated by former Machinima employees.
