iBDW is one of the fastest growing Melee talents in Upstate New York and the Tri-State Area along with Jmook and 2Saint. He originally began competing out of curiosity for how far he could progress in late Spring of 2015, but after having difficulty finding practice in person he began grinding on Anther's Ladder, where he quickly rose to the top of the rankings. His play style makes heavy usage of Fox's up-air for juggles, his tilts and mobility for zoning and approaching, and quick out of shield options to create openings or end stocks. He has wins over players such as The Moon, dizzkidboogie, Slox, Hax (Post B0xx comeback), lloD, Captain Smuckers, DJ Nintendo, Hanky Panky, Drephen, and many others. He is currently ranked 9th on the NYC Metropolitan Area Melee Power Rankings.

Trivia
- When he was younger, his Xbox tag was "iBDoiNWorK" meaning "i Be DoiN WorK" which he then shortened to iBDW upon coming into the competitive smash scene, though some have mistaken it for "i Body Deez Weebs." At this point, it likely stands for nothing.
- iBDW is perhaps best known for nearly crying after losing in game 5 to DizzKidBoogie at Tipped Off 12. Despite playing a great set and using tactics he probably learned from watching DizzKidBoogies's "how to beat ICs" videos, he mentally collapsed in game 5 and began whining like a small child during each wobble. At least he did manage to give DizzKidBoogie a wet noodle fist bump before walking off to cry in a corner.
