About

Hi there! I’m Beviraku X, or Joshua! A proud San Antonio local and Cyber-Security professional! I graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with dual BBAs in Cyber-Security and Information Systems, Summa Cum Laude and as a Distinguished Honors Graduate. 

Outside of work, I’m passionate about content creation, photography, and writing. Feel free to check out my social media links on the social section of this site or reach out to me directly on Telegram.

Pre-2014, I managed to join Instagram as a mere youngling, searching my way throughout communities. The primary community that managed to drag me in was the Instadragons!  A community of unique dragon characters that really all vibed together and were close friends! I chose to do something not unique and join the Spyro subsection of the Instadragon community. That is where I found what Furry was, a unique subculture and fandom of diverse people who come together under the interest of anthropomorphic animals!  

In 2014, Beviraku was born. He was a mere gray wolf with hair and green eyes! The wonderful Bananabag (who I have lost contact with, unfortunately), created his first very art piece as per a request. 

From there, Beviraku slowly evolved. As did I.  From creating the LARGEST Furry Discord Server (The Furry Nexus, 2017) to establishing myself in the local furry community as the president of a local 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Since 2014, I have been growing and evolving as a person. Being part of the Furry Fandom has been a major part of my life. The unique culture of this fandom and its welcoming nature have kept me involved and supported me throughout the years. Being a furry has also given me the opportunity to lead others and build communities.

In 2017, I created The Furry Nexus, which, after I stepped down, grew to become the world's largest furry Discord server. It was an incredible experience that helped me shape my leadership style and discover my passion for organizing and bringing people together.

As of today, I continue to grow and evolve as both a person and a leader within the fandom. I currently serve as the Guest of Honor Liaison for Alamo City Furry Invasion (ACFI), where I previously worked as the Project Manager of Outreach. I also lead River City Furry Events, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in San Antonio that supports the animal and LGBTQIA+ communities through local events, furmeets, and charity work.

Outside of organizing, I enjoy photography, videography, and writing. I do photoshoots, create video projects for my YouTube channel, and write as a way to build worlds and express ideas through my characters and stories.

Honestly, the future terrifies me. Professionally, I want to pursue a career in Cyber-Security, possibly in the private sector if possible. (I do want to participate a purple-team hybrid role.) As for furry? I have no idea! I don't want to sound like a cliché furry and say "I want to become a Popufur ✨" because it's quite...a selfish dream and overall, quite centric on the idea that "Popufur" status will exist in the future. 

Personally, my goal in this fandom is to rise to a role where I can make an impact and help others. Whether it is a convention chair, guest of honor, special guest, or something that is different, I want to make a positive impact on this fandom. Help others in need and value those who have stuck with me through these years, despite the negatives. 

In summary, I want to make an impact and change. To have my name known throughout the fandom as something good rather than negative. Only then will I know that my time here in this fandom has been achieved. 

Should anyone would want to nominate me as a Guest of Honor or Conchair, contact me!  👀
