PioneersProductions

Randy Robert Stair † (September 17, 1992 - June 8, 2017 [aged 24]), better known online as PioneersProductions (also known as EGSProductions or Andrew Blaze), was an American YouTuber, animator, comedian, and vlogger known for creating sketch comedy videos, and the fan-animated spinoff web series Ember's Ghost Squad, inspired by Danny Phantom villain; Ember McLain.
==Early life==
Randy Stair was born on September 17, 1992 in Pennsylvania to parents Robert and Laurianne Stair along with his younger brother, Jeremy Stair. He was described as a very shy and introverted child, always preferring to be alone in school. Randy often liked to watch Nickelodeon shows, drawing the characters he saw on TV. He used to make short home films using a VHS recorder, much to the criticism of Jeremy. While he did find friends in high school, he never had a girlfriend or dated due to disinterest. 
When Randy turned 18 years old, he applied for work at McDonald's, but quit after three hours on his first day. Randy's father got him a part-time job working at the Weis supermarket that he managed, employment which Randy resented but kept for income. He had a short period of full-time work at a hospital which he quit due to pressure, returning to the supermarket. 
In 2011, Randy graduated from Dallas High School and attended his graduation ceremony. Meeting his parents' expectations, he would attend Luzerne County Community College for three years until 2014, majoring in mass communications. Although, Randy said college and job hunting weren't his main priorities.
Randy mentions wanting to drop out of high school early on and always struggling with grades during his schooling. During his YouTube career, he would experiment with different types of content to reach the same level of popularity as his online peers, this being something he would never achieve. Randy wanted to reach 100,000 subscribers, but instead found his channels consistently stuck between 8000 to 9000 subscribers for multiple years.
