He has attracted over one million fans on Twitch and has over 750,000 followers on YouTube. In 2012, the YouTube channel is called Sodapoppin. The type of content found there ranges from pranks and games to challenges and humorous videos.
He had always had a passion for gaming and used to spend a lot of time playing Xbox games. The passion only grew over time, and after entering college, he tried to turn it into a career.

The fun project he created soon became very popular and within a year he had gained an impressive number of followers. He soon moved to Michigan and his social media career was greatly enhanced. He has broadened his horizons since ‘World of Warcraft’ with which he started playing games of different genres. He quickly became a popular player on Twitch and built a community there as well.
