Pineapple first discovered ''ARMS'' on release day after an acquaintance gave a high recommendation. Despite not initially thinking he'd like it, Pineapple quickly became invested in the game. In late Summer of 2017, he became connected with his local ''ARMS'' scene, Ohio ARMS, to which he eventually became a member of their Power Ranking and administration staff. Around this time, Pineapple also met [[FormalCat]] while looking for friendlies and soon became engaged with Fellows in ARMS. After a number of voice chats, [[Defur]] asked PineappleFreak to join the team to which he accepted. Pineapple joined in on various FiA broadcasts including podcasts, the ''ARMS'' Community Awards, reaction streams, and more. | Pineapple first discovered ''ARMS'' on release day after an acquaintance gave a high recommendation.

In early 2018, Pineapple had the honor of being a part of the [[ARMS US & Canada Online Open]] after qualifying eighth. He managed to take down the #1 seed, [[GoreMagala]], but later lost to [[Resolve]], the second seed. Pineapple placed 3rd in the event and received a signed piece of official artwork as a prize. He also commentated [[G7 ARMS Online]] alongside [[Schkrimps]] around this time. He commentated a number of [[Mega League Monday|Mega League Mondays]] and Fight Club events in 2018 as well. Later in the year, at [[Smash'N'Splash 4]], FiA announced that they were disbanding which left PineappleFreak without a team. Despite them disbanding, the team still converses with each other often, even to this day. A documentary was later created by Defur, titled [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6UanUlf4b0 The Fellows in ARMS], in which the team's comradery is clearly demonstrated. In late 2018, PineappleFreak joined Flourish Esports as a Player Mentality Coach alongside former FiA alumni [[HanukkahJamboree]] who joined as their Head TO Coach. Pineapple's stint with the team only lasted for a few months though as he wanted to focus more on his job and family. | In early 2018, Pineapple had the honor of being a part of the [[ARMS US & Canada Online Open]] after qualifying eighth.

In early 2019, Pineapple met with player and musical artist Radio when he happened to be in his area. This kickstarted a friendship that blossomed into the [https://twitter.com/WholesomeFM Wholesome Transmissions] series of podcasts starting in June of 2019. This podcast was co-hosted by the duo and discussed topics with prominent members of gaming communities, with many being from the ''ARMS'' community. That June, Pineapple also placed 2nd at [[Smash'N'Splash 5]], making what some believe is the greatest ''ARMS'' Losers run of all time.<ref>https://twitter.com/OhioARMS/status/1272730920878051331</ref> This run showed that even though he couldn't make it to many events, he still was one of the largest threats in the US. Later, in July, Pineapple joined Radio's eSports team, RipTide eSports, as an ''ARMS'' player and podcaster as Pineapple found that the team's values lined up with his perfectly. He was also recommended to be put on the compendium for [[2GG: SwitchFest 2019|SwitchFest 2019]], but opted to deny his spot because he had plans that could not be canceled the day of the event. | In early 2019, Pineapple met with player and musical artist Radio when he happened to be in his area.

Despite Pineapple's low activity at offline majors (outside of Smash'N'Splash), he has always tried to support the offline scene in Ohio. He often supported events like A Call to ARMS, Nyancon, [[Pressure]], and [[Pressure 2 Krusty Crew Battles|Pressure 2]]. Victories at these events, combined with high results in the Ohio ARMS ran online event series [[The Biweekly Procrastination]], justified his #1 spot on the Ohio ARMS Power Ranking for each of their running seasons so far. | Despite Pineapple's low activity at offline majors (outside of Smash'N'Splash), he has always tried to support the offline scene in Ohio.
