Josh and Trevor Hughes are two members of a medical bankruptcy family out of Great Falls, Montana, USA who plan to use video games to positively impact the world.

Biography

The Hughes Brothers, along with their mother Cyndi, are a medical bankruptcy family based out of Great Falls, Montana, USA. Back in 2002, older brother Josh had just graduated high school and younger brother Trevor was entering 7th grade. Some friends pressured him to try out for football, and he failed the physical multiple times. We found out he was in severe kidney failure, and needed a lifetime of surgeries (as of 2022, he's in dialysis 3 times a week and we stopped counting at 70 surgeries). Their father told Trevor he didn't want the bills of a sick child, so he left and Trevor, Cyndi and Josh had to go medically bankrupt and lose everything. We tried doing things the 'normal' way for a few years, but we had to be careful how much money we made so it didn't impact Trev's Medicaid. Finally, we decided to ditch normal and try crazy: take our love of video games and turn it into a job. This led to the creation of Add-A-Tudez Entertainment Company, where the Josh, Trevor and Cyndi (along with their newly formed team) would become Montana's 1st PlayStation and Xbox certified developers, as well as start doing educational outreach programs across Montana and beyond to teach people about the STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), Careers and Community Impact behind game design and entrepreneurship. This actually caught the attention of Sony PlayStation, who did a video on the family in 2014 that can be seen at https://youtu.be/SWzv7XMZiSE. Our goal is to positively impact the world through gaming, and we'd love to team up with Sony to make that happen!
