The main campus of Vernon-Verona-Sherrill High School was built in 1954, and is centrally located between the towns of Vernon, Verona, and the city of Sherrill at the intersection of New York State Route 31 and Beacon Light Road.

He is also commonly noted for his popularization of the fedora and Mountain Dew trademarks in the MLG scene. Xx_MLG_SNIPARZ_xX's weapon of choice is the intervention, stock.
