== Biography ==
Raynex has been involved in grassroots communities since his youth. He entered his first tournament at 16 years old, after finding an ad through the international community forum, [[Smashboards]]. For the next 2 years, he would attend local tournaments at community centers and schools in Toronto, with highschool friend {{Sm|Ryan Ford}} not far behind. After 2 years honing his skills, he set his sights on what lay beyond Canada, competing in New York, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Michigan, Pittsburg, Baltimore, and Kansas - all before turning 22. Raynex's experiences travelling abroad not only lead him to numerous tournament wins at home, but brought experience and perspective that invigorated the Toronto community. Now a top player, with world-class [[doubles]] teammate Ryan Ford and {{SSBM|Sheik}} pioneer {{Sm|KirbyKaze}} as training partners, the rest of North America began to wake up to the talent coming out of the frigid North.  
As one of the founding members of the East Coast Canadanian smash community, Raynex has been a member of the grassroots scene since he was a teenager. Originally, he began competing by visiting community centers and highschools in the Toronto area that were hosting tournaments. After a year of honing his skill at local events, he set his sights on what lay beyond Canada. He began travelling across North America at age of 18, competing in New York, Massachusetts, Atlanta, Michigan, Pittsburg, Baltimore, and Kansas all before he turned 22 - picking up some notable tournament placings along the way. The experiences and lesson he gleaned frfom first U.S. major event in 2008 lead to numerous local tournament wins. With his best friend, doubles teammate and highschool classmate [[Ryan Ford]], the rest of North America began to wake up to the reality of strong contenders in Canada. Raynex was the first-ever dual-sponsored player in Canada, competing in SSBM and Street Fighter simultaneously at major events. Raynex has accumulated tournament wins in his tenure, including the likes of [[Hungrybox]], [[N0ne]], [[Kage]], [[KoreanDJ]], [[KirbyKaze]], and [[Colbol]]. In SSBM, Raynex peaked at #1 in Canada (2012) and 51st on the world rankings (2014).
