Trivia
- In 2015, Boss was the most dominant Smash 4 player in MD/VA and won the majority of tournaments that he entered.
- Boss previously held the record for most Xanadu Smash 4 tournaments won, having earned 1st place in 28 Xanadu tournaments. This record was surpassed by WaDi in 2017.
- Boss is fairly infamous for being a self-professed "businessman", where he'll mostly only enter tournaments he's confident he'll win money in, while avoiding those he finds to have too strong of competition. This has led to Boss not attending most nationals and never going to those that are far from the northeast, despite being a top-level player, and showing up unannounced at out-of-state locals with weaker competition, instead of going to a closer tournament with stronger competition. Although he never saved his winnings and spent it all within days.
- Boss is also known for being an extremely stoic player, who rarely ever shows the slightest bit of emotion win or lose. The extreme disparity between Boss' complete lack of emotion and his opponents being vibrant and expressing shock is a point of humor for many viewers, in the various GIF's and videos featuring Boss.
