Not a lot is known about David’s parents and siblings, as he respects their privacy and wants to keep them out of the public eye.
David became interested in gaming at an early age, by watching his older brother play video games. For his ninth birthday, he was given his first gaming console, a Game Boy, and started playing himself, particularly “Pokémon” and “Harvest Moon”.
Before launching his YouTube career, David studied early childhood care and education at the Institute of Technology, Tralee. He didn’t graduate as he dropped out in 2014, when his YouTube channel reached a million subscribers.

Unlike many other gaming YouTubers, David doesn’t do Twitch streams; he had an account, but wasn’t very active, so he deleted it in November 2021. In response to fan requests to start streaming, David jokingly tweeted ‘Never gonna stream on @Twitch, they wouldn’t let me sit down at their booth. Can’t a tall man rest his feet?’, but the real reason as to why he avoids Twitch is still a mystery. However, David does occasionally stream his gameplays on YouTube.
