## Career

### JStu affiliation

Cauthren was an affiliate with JStu since he moved down to Colorado. However, he didn't officially become a part of the team until 2019, around the same time when they hired Rick Douglas as an editor.

In mid-2020, it was announced in a member vlog that he would be leaving the JStu team to go move to Delaware. The last video he was in before he left was We Built A Backyard Tree House WATER PARK!. Not much was known about his life since moving to Delaware, and later North Carolina somewhere in April 2021 to work for MrBeast as a creative writer.

At the end of the video Hidden Secret CLOCK Entrance To ULTIMATE Man Cave!, Cauthren made a minor appearance. He can be seen playing arcades with Hyper Fenton, and when Andrew Scites asks what game they're playing, they both turn to the camera. It was then revealed that he was joining back on the team in episode 29 on the Laugh Daily Podcast after moving from North Carolina back to Colorado.

On July 25, 2022, Cauthren posted a video on his personal channel stating that he was going to be leaving JStu again, citing the fact that he grew up in the Eastern United States, and would like to move back there. He stated that he already got a job in the vicinity and had moved back there.

Cauthren made an appearance in the video Trapped in an Impossible Maze, along with Hyper Fenton, Matthew Doyon, and Sean Doyon.

### Other ventures

In May 2022, he founded Yellow Shark Digital, a marketing agency specializing in content strategizing and analytics for YouTube channels and small businesses.
