Prior to streaming, he completed his degree in Social worked. He continued to work in the field until he was earning enough money from streaming to attempt it as a fulltime career. He joined Team Curse in April 2014, but only remained with them for two months. He then joined Team Liquid I August 2014 and has remained with them since then. In 2015, he started occasionally casting events as well.
From October 2018 until November 2019, he took a break from Hearthstone, as he had become bored of it. Instead, he began to stream Magic: The Gathering Arena as well as various auto-battler content. It was also the new Battlegrounds auto-battler mode that attracted him back to HS in November 2019.

Quotes
-
You should definitely be streaming and have something that is unique to you. Maybe you are really good at shaman, or maybe you’re a good priest player. Something [that differentiates] you and your stream from others. I think that’s the most important thing.
