He grew up in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metropolitan Area in Texas.

In one of his 2017 YouTube videos, he stated that he would become an Italian.

Education-

In 2013, Joseph joined University of North Texas (UNT) in Denton, Texas to study for a bachelor’s degree in international studies with a concentration in International Security and Diplomacy.

At UNT, he also did a minor in Russian Language and Literature.

Joseph graduated in 2016 with a GPA grade of 3.7.

During that time, his plan after graduating was either to become a U.S. diplomat and eventually an ambassador or to work for the United Nations or United States Foreign Service.

‘RealLifeLore’–

Joseph started his YouTube channel, ‘RealLifeLore‘ on 15 February 2016 while in his final semester at UNT and started working on his channel in his spare time at the university.

The name RealLifeLore popped into his head randomly while he was driving to the college.

Since a young age, Joseph has been fascinated by maps, geography, history and economics and played games like Civilization IV, Age of Empires, etc. and all of these things made him more curious and influenced his video production process.

Dropping out of university to become a full-time YouTuber-

During the initial days, Joseph was overwhelmed by video production because he didn’t have the knowledge of animation and video editing but as he was inspired by the idea of sharing his creations and watching his YouTube channel grow, he continued working on it.

Even though RealLifeLore YouTube channel was started as a hobby project, later, he started seriously working on it.

Joseph dropped out of university in October 2017 when he was just six classes away from obtaining his economics degree to become a full-time YouTuber.
