Edinger studied Bachelor of Arts (Mathematics; Statistics and Operation Research) from Rowan University, with a GPA of 3.71.[11] He began posting YouTube videos in 2010 while still in college.[12] Edinger was largely inspired by the work of Charlie McDonnell ("Charlieissocoollike") and Ray William Johnson. Edinger originally used the pseudonym "naveregnide" (his name spelled backwards) before changing it to his full name.

In 2012, Edinger moved to London to pursue a master's degree. He studied a Master of Science (Actuarial Science) as Cass Business School.[11] After finishing his degree, Edinger remained there to work full-time.[citation needed]

In January 2020, Edinger was one of eight social media influencers that took part in the 2020 MSC World Cruise which was planned to be a cruise that circumnavigated the globe before it was canceled halfway through due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.[15][16]

As of May 2020, Edinger was among the many YouTubers financially affected by COVID-19, having experienced a 50% drop in AdSense revenue.[10]
