==About==
==About==
Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Shako grew up in Morgan County, West Virginia and currently lives in Vermont. He is a masters student in Historic Preservation at the University of Vermont and holds a B.A. degree in History from Shepherd University in West Virginia. He has worked a summer job writing historic building surveys and preparing construction documents for a small architecture firm, and he volunteers on a community historic buildings board in West Virginia.
Shako began playing Minecraft in March 2011 with the username ''nitromegamer'', having been a fan of the Miniclip-associated Flash browser game company [[wikipedia:Nitrome|Nitrome]]. Other past usernames include ''SpaghettiGoat'' (2015-2019) and ''ShakoRam'' (2019-2020).[[File:Shako in the Vitruvius Town Hall.png|thumb|Shako stands in the atrium of the Vitruvius Town Hall shortly after finishing construction.]]
 
Shako joined Dogcraft while a server he had played on continuously since 2011 was temporarily closed in mid-2020. He is most active as a member of the [[Road and Horse Network]] (RHN), for which he constructs and documents roads. He began by straightening and widening Gaia Road on Survival 4 and then volunteered to build the roads around the Spawn Sea and south to Lotus which had been planned by the RHN. In Survival 5, he established the Shepherd Turnpike and Labrador Turnpike as main connector roads across those respective servers, currently 11.0 km and 7.5 km long, respectively, and has constructed most of the other public roads on Labrador.

He played on a small SMP server from August 2011 until it temporarily closed in May 2020, and he currently manages buildings and infrastructure on a friend's [[wikipedia:Five_Nights_at_Freddy's|Five Nights at Freddy's]]-themed Bedrock Edition realm.

In Survival 4 he built a large town called [[Vitruvius]], 2.5km south of [[City of Gaia|Gaia]]. However, his primary functional base was a four-story house, called _Shako House, immediately adjacent to the Gaia city line.

Throughout September 2021 he built the Nether Tunnel Network overworld tower at 30 kilometers (30000 blocks) south on Husky as an entry in the NTN tower build contest. The building is [[wikipedia:Postmodern_architecture|postmodern]] in style and is nine stories high including a partially-underground bottom floor.
In Survival 5, he is building [[Shakoburg]], a megabase based on a dreamlike abstraction of a typical American university campus.
