He records in Orlando, in a kitchen with a dungeon decor dressed in a peculiar way[1] (a vinyl armor).[3] He is a member of the music group Forever Dawn and is a keyboardist for the group Fields of Glass.[4]
When he was in college he quit eating meat. He studied behavior neuroscience at Gainesville. He moved to Orlando after finishing his studies.[1] He had the idea of Vegan Black Metal Chef when he thought of showing what vegans eat in a "simple" way.[4]
