Education
Erich Atwell is a creative and intelligent student. Although he never went to preschool, and he went to kindergarten in Oregon, he has maintained good grades throughout his years of schooling in Friday Harbor. He took elementary education at FHES (Friday Harbor Elementary School) from grades 1-6. Then from grades 7-8, Erich took his education to a new horizon on the grounds of a private school called SSIS (Spring Street International School). This was a small school, and Erich thrived in the small classes. He did not enjoy his time there however, finding himself out of place and out of friend groups. So for Erich's high school years he went back to public schooling and began classes as a freshman at FHHS (Friday Harbor High School), where he resides now. He plans on going to college after his senior year, and study video game programming, and land a job as a game designer.

YouTube
Erich Atwell is the current owner of a channel called Spectrumnist. At the age of 16, Erich started his hobby as a YouTuber with his friend Joseph (Joe) Wood. Joe enjoyed watching his friend Erich react to horror games, and told Erich that he should make a YouTube account so that he could watch Erich react to horror games. Upon creation, the two set out to play video games and make entertaining and funny videos. Many of Erich's videos include games like Minecraft, Elder Scrolls Online, and Rocket League. The channel also features several playthroughs of the horror games Joe wanted Erich to play and react to, as well as short films Erich has created with his friends. Erich is the owner of the channel Spectrumnist, as well as the editor and film maker of all of its content. The word Spectrumnist is made up and is currently not a real word, but is the nickname that Erich goes by. Erich uses the name Spectrumnist as his gamertag on Xbox Live, and as his name in many online games. The word Spectrumnist originates from the word Spectrum, used to classify something on a scale ranging from two extreme opposites, and is most commonly uses to describe the color scale of the rainbow. This is why the channel bases it's background themes and intros around rainbows.
