About[]
Family issues caused by his parents splitting up and both getting with people who didn't want to deal with kids caused him to move out while he was a teenager in Chicago, which put him on the street. Though he continued to attend high school for a short while, the stress of being homeless eventually led to him dropping out. After getting on his feet, Ohmwrecker manged to get into college with a high school equivalency exam, and graduated college in 2013 with high honors and a degree in Business Administration. He has previously stated that he has a rare condition called visual snow which causes television-like static to appear in his vision. He had a pet dog named Buddy who had been around for at least ten years. Buddy passed away on September 2nd, 2018. He adopted a new Jack Russell Terrier later that year named Tiny. It's said he had a sister and two or three brothers, one of the brothers being a Marine.
He has said having brown hair and hazel eyes "that sometimes looks light green or blue," having a height of 5'11' and that he is barely older than TheRPGMinx who was born in 1984. His birthday is on June 28. In 2016, he joked in his birthday stream on Twitch that he would be turning 116 years old. He has said that he has a trimmed beard, and has also said in a Rainbow Six: Siege video that his ancestry is mainly Italian and Polish. He later clarified in a stream that his father is Polish and his mother is Italian, though his grandparents on both sides were the last to speak their respective languages.
His Garry's Mod in-game character a is man dressed in a white bunny costume with a huge head. His head is notorious for giving his, and to some extent his teammates' position away, especially in Hide and Seek mode.
On YouTube, PewDiePie brought much more spotlight to many channels including his, Jacksepticeye's and TheRPGMinx's when they played Assassin's Creed, Garry's Mod, and other similar games in 2013. Ohm was previously close to Jacksepticeye until they grew apart and focused on their own methods of gameplay and as a result of Jack's busier schedule. He then later began to play with a popular "crew" of comedic YouTubers consisting of VanossGaming, H2O Delirious, I AM WILDCAT, Daithi De Nogla, (The Gaming) Terroriser and others, although he still frequently plays with players who are not commonly seen among the crew. Combined, these increased activities with said YouTubers have significantly raised his view counts on his videos, to the point where he uploaded a video to thank his subscribers for getting him over 1 Million subscribers on September 15th, 2016.
In 2020, Ohm played with Mr. Fruit and his Dream Team in Among Us, along with Bryce McQuaid. He later joins the Fruit SMP in 2021.
