About Christopher Robert Fox
I am Christopher Robert Fox, an entrepreneur and corporate administrator of Thomas Edison Electric. GardenFlouer, pronounced Garden-Flower and spelled o-u-e-r on purpose, has been my name on the internet since before I could reach the top shelf. My first glitch video was a Bakery Story oven bug, filmed when I was nine, and it quietly collected sixteen thousand views while I was busy being in fourth grade. Nobody had gotten around to telling me that a bug was supposed to be a problem, so I filed it under "free oven" and kept going.
Since then: a YouTube channel monetized at thirteen, a first car funded at sixteen by flipping arcade prizes, roughly forty thousand dollars in Amazon sales by eighteen, and a business degree with Dean's List honors all twelve terms. For nearly three years now I have worked at Thomas Edison Electric, a home services company, where I have built real-time dispatch dashboards on top of our ServiceTitan data and automated more workflows than I can count. It is the work I am proudest of, and it is not the side quest. The staffing math behind it is free for anyone who runs a queue, on my work tools page: Erlang C, Erlang A and shrinkage calculators that show every step. There is also a cat trivia app, built and not on the App Store yet, because some habits do not quit. The through-line has never changed. Find the seams in a system, then show everyone the view from inside.
The channel itself is 468 videos and roughly 666,000 views deep, with a quarter-million of those piling onto one single upload that I did not see coming. The same name on TikTok carries 23,000 followers and 866,000 likes across 161 videos. In that pile you will find game glitches, product reviews with a cat co-host, park vlogs, a Pokemon horror fangame I did not make but did narrate my way through for an entire series, and at least one absurdist cinematic universe. This site is where the best of it gets replanted and fact-checked, starting with the Glitchhouse, a field guide to the glitch Pokemon of Red and Blue decoded straight out of the ROM, and a ranking of the strongest glitch Pokemon in Gen 1 where every stat was checked against the cartridge instead of the folklore.
Away from screens: three seasons of cross country, where the award I actually took home was, more or less, for smiling through every race. At screens: staff to Moe, a snowshoe Siamese who supervises everything on this page and holds the title of quality control over the app and the rest of what I am building.
The Long Version
Fourteen years is a lot of tabs to leave open, so here are the six moments that stopped being events and turned into habits. Pick one.
A cat, a clan, and a spelling I still defend
I needed a username for a new YouTube account and I did not deliberate for one second. Years earlier I had drawn the best cat of my life, named him GardenFlower, and installed him as leader of FlowerClan, because I was deep in the Warriors books and somehow even deeper into plants. The o-u-e-r was deliberate, for the single greatest reason a kid has ever had for anything: I thought it looked cool. Flower is a word. Flouer is a name. The full origin story is written down here, redrawing attempt included.
An oven glitch in Bakery Story
My first glitch video was a bug in a mobile bakery game that convinced the ovens to do something the developers had not signed off on. Sixteen thousand people watched a fourth grader explain it, slowly, with no editing to speak of. That is the shape of everything since, right there: find the seam, hit record, and explain it slowly enough that it actually helps somebody.
Ad revenue before a learner's permit
The channel got monetized when I was thirteen, which is a strange age to learn that a hobby can have a payout schedule attached. It taught me the thing school had not gotten to yet: attention is a system too, with rules you can read, test, and get better at. Kaizen before I had a word for it.
Arcade prizes, flipped into a first car
I funded my first car at sixteen by buying, trading, and reselling arcade prizes, which is a business model that sounds like a joke until the title is in your name. By eighteen the same instinct had turned into roughly forty thousand dollars in sales on Amazon. None of it was a business plan. It was pattern recognition and a lot of trips to the post office.
A business degree and three seasons of cross country
Business degree, Dean's List all twelve terms, and three years on the cross country roster. The award I actually took home from the team was, more or less, for smiling through every race, and I will take it. Running taught me the one percent better idea more honestly than any book did. Do not look at the whole hill, just be slightly less terrible than yesterday, repeatedly.
Building the dispatch machine
Nearly three years at a home services company: real-time dispatch dashboards built on our ServiceTitan data, workflow automations across the business, and more hats than I can count along the way. I am an entrepreneur who is a corporate administrator of Thomas Edison Electric. It is the work I am proudest of, and the now page keeps the current, honest version of that answer.
The Paper Trail
For the record-keepers, and for anyone who searched "Christopher Fox" and got an actor, a composer, and a British baron. I am none of those. I am the Christopher Fox on Bryn Athyn College's cross country roster (2022 to 2024) and the one in the college's Dean's List announcements. Professionally I am on LinkedIn, and I have been making videos as GardenFlouer on YouTube since February 11, 2012, and on TikTok since a good while after that. Same person in all of them, glasses included.
If something here does not line up with what you found somewhere else, the FAQ answers the questions people actually ask me, and anything it misses you can settle by emailing me directly. I would rather be corrected than be wrong in public, which is, if we are being honest, the entire reason I started filming glitches in the first place.
