*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 {{Sm|WaDi}} in 2017.

*Boss is fairly infamous for being a self-professed "businessman", where he'll often only enter tournaments he is confident he'll win money in, while avoiding those he finds to have too strong of competition. This led to Boss not attending most majors and never going to those that are far from the northeast, despite once being a top level player, while also frequently showing up unannounced at out-of-state tournaments with weaker competition, instead of going to a closer tournament with stronger competition. It additionally is a major reason why he stopped attending Xanadu after early 2016, as the players of MDVA caught up to and exceeded his skill level, making Xanadu no longer a reliable source of income for him.

This led to Boss not attending most majors and never going to those that are far from the northeast, despite once being a near top level player, while also frequently showing up unannounced at out-of-state tournaments with weaker competition, instead of going to a closer tournament with stronger competition. It additionally is a major reason why he stopped attending Xanadu after early 2016, as the players of MDVA caught up to and exceeded his skill level, making Xanadu no longer a reliable source of income for him.
*Boss is 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 or expressing shock is a point of humor for many viewers, in the various GIFs and videos featuring Boss.
