Personal Life and History

On December 2, 1987, Ian was born in Michigan and lived there until at the age of 8, he soon moved to Louisiana until he was 16 years old, then moved to Virginia until he became 18 years old. He moved to South Carolina until a month after his 29 birthday when he was having marital issues and was living in Victoria, British Columbia in Canada. He is now living in his old home in the city of Summerville, South Carolina.

Ian joined the US Air Force when he was in his young adult years (Unknown date, suspected to be 17 or 18 at the time) and was happy with being in the military. He later got married to a girl named "Madelyn" at the age of 19 (In 2007) and was still in the military until the 28th of November on 2009 when he was inspired by Joe Hanson, a writer and comedian and decided to make his first YouTube channel with the name of "SSundee" He didn't upload videos until the year of 2010 where he would spend small amounts of his free time each day uploading gameplay videos such as "Call of Duty"z`, "Dota", "League of Legends" and a lot more. He would also occasionally do vlog videos of "Q&A" and him showing his gaming gadgets.

As his determination thrives, he earned more and more views day by day. In the same year, he discovered Minecraft, and made his first Minecraft video titled "Minecraft Rollercoaster! w/ SSundee" which he said in the video's description "I hope you guys like my idea :)". And so, he started doing Minecraft Survival series with some of his friends and uploaded them to YouTube every day.

His channel grew bigger and bigger as he met more friends, and he soon got his former wife (Madelyn) involved in playing Minecraft and The Sims 3 with him while at the same time, he did vlog videos of him and his son (Colton) doing their daily father and son activities.

Everything was going smoothly until November 22 of 2012, when he only uploaded about 4 videos up until January 15, 2013. He was going through a divorce and uploaded a video 3 months later apologizing and explaining why he just left without a word, and his fans welcomed him back.

On February 14, 2013, he made a vlog video talking about him leaving the military, and that he would be having more time making Minecraft videos. He continued his Minecraft series without telling his fans what happened or why he didn't upload any videos for the past 2 months.

On March 17, 2013, Ian made a video of him playing Super Craft Bros in the background and confessed why he left. He and his wife got divorced in 2012 due to unknown reasons which explains why he wasn't really active at that time. He was sad as he was apologizing to his fans and almost broke into tears. Despite what happened, his fans didn't look at him differently. He was still the same funny and awesome SSundee, who all of his fans respected, loved, and care about. Because of this, SSundee was able to get back on his feet and continue his YouTube career with his friends.

On August 20, 2013, JeromeASF uploaded an "IRL" vlog video where he appeared to be in a hotel room in Las Vegas with Ian and a couple of more friends.
