Adam “Uncle Scoob”
I think one of the most fulfilling features of life is self-expression, I was lucky enough to realize this when I was just a kid.
I grew up with a big family in Canonsburg, PA and always found myself doing something creative. I would make up my own stories, then create drawings or paintings to go with them. Finally, when I was 14, I discovered theatre and fell in love instantly. There’s something special about working incredibly hard just to put yourself out there. You never truly know how a performance will go, and there’s so much thrill in that.
The thrill of performance has been my fuel. I moved to New York to study and eventually transitioned to Los Angeles to pursue a career as an actor. To this day, acting is my main focus and over time has grown to give me the ability to create my own short films! However, there’s no reason to limit yourself, especially when the ‘creative iron’ is hot. Some great friends and I were inspired to make a board game. We pushed ourselves to learn new skills to showcase our creativity in a different way and it worked. Our game has been circulating at board game conventions since the beginning of 2019.
That brings us to Get Caked. I met the owner Jasmine right before her love of pancake art was sparked. I’ve been lucky enough to watch the evolution of doodles on a page to a full blown company. In December of 2018, she gave me an offer to learn another new creative skill by asking me to join the team. To my delight, pancake art combines so many of my previous interests. With Get Caked I get to mix the imaginations of our customers onto a griddle for their own enjoyment. All while receiving the performance thrill I crave. There’s nothing quite like it and I couldn’t be more grateful.
