DaShizWiz is a top professional Falco player from Florida, considered to be one of the best Falco mains in the world. Influenced by Bombsoldier's videos and by fellow Falco main Lambchops' coaching, he improved very quickly and became very successful in the Melee scene. In his career, he has taken sets off of top players such as Chillindude829, his brother KeepSpeedN, Reno, Abate, and aMSa, and has had very close and intense sets against the best smashers in the world, such as Mango, Dr. PeePee and Mew2King. At FAST 1, he managed to 3-stock and 2-stock Mew2King in tournament; although he ended up losing the set, he only lost to Mew2King by one stock each time. They played again in Losers' Finals at the first Revival of Melee in another intense set, where Mew2King defeated him 3-1. The fourth and final match in particular is one of the most viewed competitive Smash videos to date, and is often seen as one of the greatest matches of all time. It can be viewed here
DaShizWiz is formerly ranked 3rd on the Florida Melee Power Rankings, and 30th on Melee It On Me's 2013 SSBM Player Rankings. He is not as active as he was before, but has made appearances here and there at large tournaments such as Zenith 2013 and EVO 2013. He has also played Project M, once again playing Falco, but does not actively participate in PM events.
In 2015 he decided he was going to fully come back into the smash scene. His big return to form come with his Paragon Orlando 2015 attendance, where he swept through his pool and garnered himself a solid 25th place finish in the main brakcet. He has partnered with the Versus team to become one of their players. He also streams regularly on his Twitch channel, where he practices and explains strategies.
