Early life and education

Rug attended a local high school in San Diego where he learned how to play football, soccer, and then learned how to ride a skateboard with the help of his brother.
He launched his YouTube channel while still attending high school, and after matriculation decided not to pursue a college degree, but to work online (YouTube). Rug’s parents were not very supportive of the idea, but nevertheless allowed him to do what he wanted.
While at high school, Rug resembled Rico from the “Hannah Montana” TV comedy series, and was often asked if he really was Rico, so much so that after a while he simply said ‘yes’.
