About
Shako began playing Minecraft in March 2011 with the username nitromegamer, having been a fan of the Miniclip-associated Flash browser game company Nitrome. Other past usernames include SpaghettiGoat (2015-2019) and ShakoRam (2019-2020).
Shako joined Dogcraft while a server he had played on continuously since 2011 was temporarily closed in mid-2020. He is one of the leaders of the Road and Horse Network (RHN), for which he constructs and documents roads.

In Survival 5, he established the Shepherd Turnpike and Labrador Turnpike as main connector roads across those servers, currently 11.0 km and 7.5 km long, respectively, and has constructed most of the other public roads on Labrador.
In Survival 4 he built a large town called Vitruvius, 2.5km south of Gaia. However, his primary functional base was a four-story house, called _Shako House, immediately adjacent to the Gaia city line.
In Survival 5, he is building Shakoburg, a megabase based on a dreamlike abstraction of a typical American university campus. Most of the structures are based on either real-life buildings or common styles found on collegiate buildings, and they are mashed together to form a continuous interior space. At the center is a replica of Bradfield Hall at Cornell University by architect Ulrich Franzen, and the storage hall is based on Barton Hall, also at Cornell University, by architect Lewis Pilcher.
