He has been involved in the furry fandom since 2004. But has only been to 2 conventions due to sports team conflicts. He made his Mascot debut as "Tenderheart Bear" of the Care Bears at Anthrocon 2004. He also performed in the Masquerade that year as well with Rapid T Rabbit doing some guitar to Starship's "We Built This City"
