Austin Butler, also known as Austin, Corndog or TheCorndog, is a Nitro admin that founded Teaching.com, the company that created Nitro Type, Nitro Math, and other games.
History[]
Austin created TypingWeb in 2001. After that was successful, he and his brother, Travis, founded FTW Innovations in 2006. Around this time, Austin would get the idea to create a game called Nitro Type, but at the time the web browsers were "simply not capable of allowing the richness [he'd] envisioned." Eventually, in 2010, he registered in the nitrotype.com domain, began working on the site, and officially launched it on September 8, 2011.
