Burnie Burns

Burnie Burns is an American star popularly known for his directing and show hosting prowess. He is the president of the tech company Network Partners. He has several interests in many other businesses but mainly owns the Rooster teeth company.

His father was an academic who taught physics and was one of the lucky and intelligent scientists to work on the Deserton Super Collider. His origins can be traced back to both French and Canadian descent.

Early Life

Burnie was born in New York, and grew up in Texas. After high school, he attended the University of Texas at Austin where he studied Computer Science. During his college years, he was employed at the college station and this is when he founded his most popular work; the ‘sneak peak’ which has been on air ever since and has become the longest ever running student show.

He embarked on a project to direct and promote a film while at college with two others but the system at that time frustrated their efforts. He later settled on a parody production with two tech savvy guys which was an instant hit.

Producing Career

After his initial success, Burns went on to form his own company called Rooster Teeth. He managed to snag a deal with game developer Electronic Arts who gave him very lucrative creation deals. They went on to create a very successful promotional series which further established him on the market. He also worked on another successful mini-series next. At the turn of 2016, Burns embarked on a project to create a comedic film that he had written with a colleague called Lazer Team.
