Stephen Williams (born July 24, 1974), mainly known as Boogie2988, is a popular YouTuber who makes videos related to gaming and discussing gaming news, although he is primarily a vlogger. His most well known persona is that of 'Francis', a childish (and funny) adult with a lisp and a tendency to smash stuff. He also plays a southern accented redneck named "Fat-Ass McGee". He has recently hit over 300 million video views total, and currently has over 2.6 million subscribers. He made a video commemorating his 1000th video and took this moment to truly thank his fans for their support and the overwhelmingly positive effect the channel and the whole experience has had on his life. Steven began the channel on April 5th 2006 and has been expanding since then. His first video was a 49 second clip titled "Playing Dungeons and Dragons" and simply showed Boogie playing the game with a few fellow friends.
