Michael eventually parted ways with William, and moved in into the OfflineTV house, albeit not yet an official member. William moved into a new house afterwards, and Michael stayed there for a while, as seen in his " I Let a Twitter Bot Decorate My Room" video and William's " Pushing A Roomba To Its Limits" video. One notable collaboration was the " Taser Machine Fixes My Swearing Problem" video, which was the start of Michael's obsession with using tasers in his videos.Īt some point, both Michael and William were evicted from the house, possibly due to their crazy invention shenanigans or other undisclosed reasons.

They would often collaborate with each other, appearing in each others' videos. In late 2018, Michael moved in together with fellow comedy inventor William Osman and his wife Chelsea in California after William's house burned down during the 2017 wildfires in southern California. These kinds of videos weren’t getting as many views as his first video got, so he began creating videos similar to his first video making ridiculous creations that do ridiculous things. Following this, Michael started making C# programming tutorials but stopped after just three episodes. This was because of him gaining traction via the r/shittyrobots subreddit.
Michael made his first video in 2017 named " The Robot That Shines a Laser in Your Eye" which blew up immensely.

Prior to his YouTube career, Michael struggled academically in high school, to a point where he realized that he needed to be able to do something in order "not to starve," so instead of improving his grades, he turned to learning how to code, to the ire of his parents and his school guidance counselor.Īfter graduating from high school, he became a full-stack software contractor for the government of Hawaii, working on various software applications while studying computer science at the University of Hawaii. His father is likely an American while his mother is likely a Filipino of a northern Philippine ethnicity. Michael was born on Novemon the island of Maui in Hawaii.
