Jacob Rabon IV (born December 19, 1995), better known by his online pseudonym Alpharad, is an American KZbinr, esports personality, and musician. He is best known for his gaming videos on the Super Smash Bros. series along with his participation in the fighting game community as a tournament organizer. == Early life == Rabon was born on December 19, 1995, in Norman, Oklahoma. He gained an interest in filmmaking around the fifth grade, uploading comedic videos for his friends, one of his first videos being Major O's. Later, he would take video editing and cinematography classes in high school. Rabon attended the University of Oklahoma while making KZbin videos as a full-time job. However, he later stated that he dropped out to fully focus on his rising KZbin career. His original goal was to be a writer, director, or editor of some kind, but soon learned that in being someone else's editor he couldn't have as much creative freedom as he could making his own content.
