About Austin

Austin has always been an extremely artistic, musical and visually creative person since
a very young age. He began playing guitar at the age of 15 and joined his first band at
16, where the inner entertainer within took over, leading to over 50 live performances
over the course of the next 20 years. This experience in the entertainment industry
bodes well for his current artistic vision and creative project: Inches and Angles – The
Ultimate Game of Ricochet!

The experience directly translates over to the role of gameshow host, as Austin would
be the face and voice of the show in the beginning seasons and potentially as the show
continues to move forward from there. Austin has hosted many public events of varying
sizes and thrives on the ability to create suspense, intrigue and sheer excitement
among fans and onlookers, both young and old, making him an exceptional host and
face of the Inches and Angles franchise.

Austin has a very knowledgeable background in the business world, holding a Masters
degree in Entrepreneurship. He holds strengths in the budgeting and marketing areas
and is the current founder of 3 separate LLC businesses, the first being White Buffalos
Tamales, which he started late in 2021 after continuing a family tamale recipe that
gained strong interest and support from local customers in the Maricopa, AZ area. He
ran this business successfully until the beginning of 2025, when it was moved to a
seasonal/ part-time business due to the fact that Tamale sales skyrocket during the
months of October to January, which is known as “Tamale Season”.

In December of 2024, Austin formed his second LLC, 7 Sectors Recruiting, which is an
executive search firm that he currently operates as a freelance recruiter, utilizing his 10
years of experience in the talent acquisition/human resources industry. His third and
most recent business, Austin Lawrence Creations, was officially formed in February of
2026, and is the home for all the creative visions Austin has written over the course of a
lifetime, with his greatest work being the Inches and Angles gameshow.

Austin also channels his creative energy into the author arena, and has written several
books that will be published under Austin Lawrence Creations, which include both
Children’s Books as well as Self-Improvement. The company is the hub for endless
growth, potential and creative vision, and Austin’s goal is to make it the most successful
of all his companies thus far.

Current Achievements
Austin has close, personal connections with several Arizona and California-based
newspapers and journalists, over the years, most recently making it into the InMaricopa
newspaper after auditioning the Inches and Angles concept at the Shark Tank open
audition in California at the beginning of March.

While the audition was unsuccessful and did not result in an appearance on the Shark
Tank, it did create an unexpected following of fans and an incredible circle of support
from Austin’s hometown of Maricopa, AZ and the surrounding cities as well. The people
of the town are in strong anticipation of Inches and Angles and many have mentioned
that the whole city is behind him and will be watching his progress going forward.
He is also currently in the second round of the Entrepreneur of Impact competition,
which is hosted by Shark Tank member Daymond John. His circle has been very
supportive and has rallied behind him in hopes he can make it to the final round and
come out on top.

In regard to Inches and Angles, he is in the pre-seed stage and has a VR software and
game design company, Chetu games, ready to design the full VR game application, and
he also has a first potential sponsor of the gameshow, bHaptics, which is a VR suit
developer, which he has been in talks with to develop a custom VR suit specifically for
Inches and Angles. Austin also has secured a film and development team that can
professionally film and edit each gameshow episode to a professional, industry-
standard level.

Austin’s Team
On top of the creative, film and production skills that Austin brings to the table, he also
is surrounded by a wealth of creatives and professionals that he can call upon for any
need or production requirement. He has built those connections up from his time as
both a musician and actor in the Arizona scene, and he continues to grow his network
everywhere he can.

He has worked most closely over the years with Vinny Viti IV, who is an extremely
talented cinematographer, director and video editor that currently handles the video
production for the online car giant Carvana. Vinny is very excited about the Inches and
Angles project and is ready to lend his skills, equipment and resources as needed to the
project as the Director of Production. His knowledge of the film and production industry
is beyond valuable and will surely help Inches and Angles look and be the best it can
be!

It is an exciting time as the stage is set, and many of the key moving pieces are in place
to make Inches and Angles reach Austin’s vision of becoming an iconic gameshow
franchise that the whole world can enjoy, it’s time to make something amazing!
