Along with being a former team member, he is a prolific musical artist, with JStu and Fenton having collaborated on 18 songs, including the songs in the debut album *Summer's Back.* A common trait of his was, and still is, drinking the chocolate-flavored beverage  Yoo-hoo.

Fenton officially joined the JStu team on September 2, 2020, after the first departure of Caleb Cauthren, with his debut appearance on the JStu franchise being on the JStu video $1,000 HIDE N SEEK, FIND JSTU AND WIN!. His joining of the JStu team was overall supportive, with most people welcoming him to the team. However, his joining did not go without some criticism, as soon after he joined the team, some individuals claimed that Fenton was annoying and child-like.

On November 26, 2021, Fenton announced that he would leave the JStu team and move back to Texas on November 30, stating that if he and Kelly Fenton were have kids within the next few years, they would want them to be closer to their grandparents. Fenton would also mention that he got a job at the place he worked at before moving to Colorado, Meadows Baptist Church in Plano, Texas.

### Jobs

His first job was a cable connector at C-3is, Inc, a telecommunications service provider headquartered in Wylie, Texas. He then worked another job as a waiter at a French bistro and after not being properly trained on how to be a waiter for around a week, he decided to not show up to work and instead help his local church with cables. He then preceeded to get fired after his boss angrily called him. Some other jobs he did includes being a lifeguard.

In May 2008, he worked for Chris and Candy Productions as a freelance casting director's assistant for 1 year and 4 months. Starting in 2011, he started working at many jobs.

In 2012 for the month of May, he was a freelance production assistant at Vimby LLC (stylized in all capitals). He then worked for Tom Zaleski Video Production also in May as another freelance production assistant. He then became a professional actor for Film 5 for the short film *Immerse Me*. While working for Film 5, he was an actor for Bluefish TV, and participated as an actor for various bible study videos that went out to churches worldwide.

In October 2013, he was a freelance production assistant at Richie Media Productions, and worked on a feature film trailer. He then became a professional actor for Cinema Tale, and was the lead actor for a 24 hour film race. After doing these many jobs, he settled on the St. Andrew United Methodist Church, first working as a children's intern.

## JStu affiliation

### 2019: Before JStu

Before Hyper Fenton joined the JStu team, he had worked with JStu on several projects, such as Must Have Snacks and Get a Real Job. He flew down to Colorado twice so that he could film both of those music videos. Somewhere in 2020, Fenton was asked by JStu to see if he wanted to join the team as Caleb Cauthren had just left the team to go to Delaware. Fenton agreed to join the team, and would make his first main appearance in the video $1,000 HIDE N SEEK, FIND JSTU AND WIN!.

### 2020–2021: Joining JStu

Upon joining JStu, Hyper Fenton was met with some controversy among fans of JStu. A lot of people thought that he was going to be replacing Caleb Cauthren, which in a sense he was, however in Hyper's video Why I'm Leaving JSTU, he stated that no one was replacing anyone. After a little while since joining the team, Hyper became a fan favorite among fans, and even created some long-lasting quotes such as I'm In This Video Too.

### 2021: Leaving JStu

On November 26, 2021, in the aforementioned video titled Why I'm Leaving JSTU, he announced that he would be officially leaving the JStu team on November 30, 2021, and that day would be his last day working there. He said he would still be in some videos after that, but after those videos pass, he wouldn't show up in any new videos. He stated that it was because he got a job at the Meadows Baptist Church, the church that he used to work at in Plano, Texas, before moving up to Colorado to work with JStu.

Another reason is that if he and Kelly Fenton were to have children, he would want them to be closer to their grandparents. Fenton also clarified that they would still be friends even after he left. Fenton stated that he would still be producing videos on his own channel by taking everything he learnt from working with JStu. He would also hope to continue making music with JStu. Fenton will also be appearing in some videos every now and then after leaving the team.

Before officially announcing he would be leaving, he told the team that he was thinking about moving back to Texas. After praying for an opportunity, the Meadows Baptist Church, the church Fenton worked at before moving to Colorado, asked Fenton if he wanted to work as a youth pastor.

Upon leaving the JStu team, Fenton started work on his personal YouTube channel, taking the knowledge he learnt from working with JStu and applying it to his own videos. He would also start posting weekly vlogs on his YouTube channel of his students at church and some interesting activities, along with videos of his music. As of November 27, the YouTube channel has around 43.6 thousand subscribers.

### Further appearances

Fenton appeared in the video Trapped in an Impossible Maze, along with Caleb Cauthren, Matthew Doyon, and Sean Doyon.

## Personal life

Hyper Fenton got engaged and later married to Kelly Fenton in 2016 after being in a relationship with her for 3 years.

In 2017, he left his job at the St. Andrew United Methodist Chrch after working there for 3 years and started working at the Meadows Baptist Church the next year. Fenton then left the Meadows Baptist Church in 2020 to move to Colorado Springs to work with JStu after Caleb Cauthren left the team to go move to Delaware. He then preceeded to leave JStu in late 2021 to move back to Plano in order to work at the Meadows Baptist Church again.
