Thinknoodles Bio

Justin's father, who was very optimistic that computers will revolutionize the future, bought every new version of computer almost as soon as it was made available for purchase, starting with an Atari personal computer in 1981. Growing up with computers, he shared the same fascination about computers like his father.

After graduating from college in June 2000, he took up a job at CISCO Systems in Santa Clara. He later completed his master's degree in Business and started selling stuffs on eBay. During this time, he came across toy stuffed animals from 'Webkinz' and set up a blog about Webkinz to see if anyone would visit, but was overwhelmed by the positive response. He was initially running a bunch of Insiders all with their separate channels, but eventually merged them into one channel titled 'Insiders Network'.

He joined YouTube in December 2011 and soon became popular. He then changed the name of his channel to Thinknoodles, which was inspired by his favorite restaurant's slogan, "Think Noodles".

Justin Watkins was allergic to many things since he was a child and was also diagnosed with chronic severe asthma. He had to use inhalers, daily medicines and the nebulizer three times a day. Embarrassed about his health issues, he became shy and reclusive, often trying to find excuses to go to the bathroom to use his inhaler without anyone noticing. 

Justin Andrew Watkins was born on May 30, 1977, in Texas, USA. When he was two years old, his parents welcomed their second child, a daughter. 

He is married to Rachelle, the cousin of one of his friends, whom he first met during his second year in college. They started dating shortly.
