Freeze is currently the captain of the Wilkes ESports Super Smash Bros. Ultimate team, and is developing a presence in the NEPA Smash scene with his mains: Snake and Mr. Game & Watch. He is primarily regarded as one of the most devoted and skilled gamers at Wilkes University.
Apart from his campus presence, Freeze works as a technician for Weis Pharmacy and as a “wild-card worker” for his father’s rental property establishment, titled Blue Shell Realty, LLC. He is currently the program coordinator for the IANEPA Youth Muslim organization at Masjid Al-Noor in Wilkes-Barre.
