Attach
Family
His parents are very supportive of his career path.
Name Origins
The first Gamebattles name that he used was DMP15 that his dad entered in when he created Attach’s Gamebattle account for him. He later decided to go with a new name. While he was trying to think of one, he was scrolling through the weapons in MW2 and saw that one of them stated ‘No Attachment’ and he decided to go with that. He later shortened it so that it would be easier for people to remember when he wanted to go pro.
Gaming Origins
Attach started playing video games with Godzilla on a Game Boy Color when he was around 4 years old. His mom bought him a PlayStation 2 when he was a little bit older, which is when his love of gaming really started. When he was 10, one of his friends rented Call of Duty from the local Blockbuster and he loved it so much that he got his parents to buy it and an Xbox 360 for him about a week later. Outside of video gaming, he also played a lot of baseball at his dad’s insistence.
When he was 11 years old, his friend told him about Gamebattles and he stared competing in their online events with Call of Duty 4 in November 2008. That was when he first dreamed of becoming pro one day. However, it was only when Black Ops II released that he really started grinding towards that dream. He went on to be a fulltime pro-gamer and content creator immediately upon graduating from high school in 2015.
Professional Gaming
He set up his Twitch account in July 2014 and uploaded his first video to YouTube in August 2014. He has known ZooMaa since right before the EMG Philadelphia event in early 2014. They competed against each other there, with Attach on Team Elevate defeating them 3-0. He then teamed up with He was then picked up by ZooMaa for Denial eSports soon afterwards on October 2014.
However, that roster didn’t work out, so they signed on with FaZe in June 2015. However, a big moment for him was when he won the Call of Duty World Championship in 2015 when he was just 18 years old and still in high school. This got him his share of $400,000 USD. He remained with FaZe until he joined the New York Subliners in September 2019 and moved to New York City to compete with them. He remained with them until September 15, 2020, when he joined Minnesota ROKKR and then moved to Austin, Texas for the superior internet.
In July 2021, he announced his co-ownership of a clothing brand called, ‘A statement OF.’ His language isn’t clean.

According to Attach’s Twitch overlay, he has around 535 subscribers, which should net him at least $1,335 USD per month.

[In order to become a pro player,] you’ve got to grind a lot, learn from other players, stay consistent, play, just don’t give up. It’s going to take a while, because it’s not going to happen overnight. It’s going to take a while to get noticed and carry your team, and all that stuff.
