Smacko, also known as SmackoJack, was born on the Gold Coast Australia before moving with his family to a country town called Grafton in the Northern Rivers of NSW. He grew up with 3 older brothers needed to find something he was better at than his siblings - this turned out to be gaming. He started playing video games at a young age and around the age of seven developed a love for it ever since.

He attended High School in Grafton and after leaving found a part time job as a barman. Soon after, he had made the decision to go to Whistler, Canada for a working holiday.

In 2018 while in Canada he was injured in a snowboarding accident which required surgery to repair. Recuperation followed which gave Smacko the opportunity to focus on gaming once again. He started to play Zero Build Fortnite when it released and still love it to this day. He also played Call of Duty professionally and also enjoys Dota 2.

Coming back to Australia, he soon found employment as a groundsman, but due to unforeseen circumstances this job was discontinued. With more time on his hands now he thought he would give streaming a go as his passion for gaming never left. He soon found a love for streaming and making great new friends and building a very supportive community to my Twitch and TikTok channels. Both social pages have amassed a steady following for which Smacko feels very grateful and appreciative for.
