Early life and education
BoxBox was raised in Fairfax by his Chinese parents about whom nothing’s known, as BoxBox respects their privacy. His father’s said to be holding a Master’s degree in computer sciences, while his mother’s apparently also a holder of a Master’s degree. BoxBox hasn’t spoken of having any siblings, and is thus believed to be an only child.
He grew up being interested in playing video games, and after trying “League of Legends” (LoL), he fell in love with it, and has been playing it to this day.
BoxBox was also into sports while attending a local high school, and was into chess too, having attended a couple of school tournaments. He matriculated in 2014, but hasn’t spoken of any further education, however, many of his fans believe that he has attended college, and obtained his degree in 2018.
Favorite games
BoxBox’s #1 game is LoL, and he has been playing it for more than 10 years. He tried playing the hero Poppy in the game’s beta, but eventually switched to playing Riven, and made her his main hero. He joined the professional eSports team Velocity on 24 April 2013, but remained their substitute player until leaving four months later.
BoxBox thus hasn’t become a professional player, as he hasn’t played in any professional tournaments, however, he has entered Twitch Rivals tournament8 thrice. He has spent more than 4,300 hours (close to 180 days) livestreaming his LoL gameplays on Twitch.
He’s also a fan of the video game “Teamfight Tactics”, and has spent over 1,000 hours (more than 40 days) livestreaming on Twitch while playing it.

Love life and relationships
BoxBox is quite open when it comes to his love life, and has been in a long-term relationship with the Twitch streamer Annie for close to a decade.
The two met sometime in mid-2013 – it’s widely believed that they began talking to each other on the internet, before dating. They started their relationship on 17 November 2013, and have been together to this day. There are rumors circulating the internet, claiming that the two have married in secret in the meantime, but these haven’t been confirmed.
The two split once, back in 2017, because they found it hard to maintain a long distance relationship, separating for three months and then deciding that the split was a bad idea, thus reconciling. They are living together as of June 2021.
Neither BoxBox nor Annie have spoken of any other people whom they have perhaps dated.
Hobbies and other interests
BoxBox spends the majority of his spare time playing video games on his consoles, but he’s also taking good care of his health. He has a couple of training sessions at the gym each week, and is following a healthy diet, meaning he eats a lot of fruits and vegetables.

He’s into travelling, and has been to various US states, to attend gaming and cosplay events, and doesn’t usually skip on an opportunity to put on a cosplay costume.
