Background
J-Fred was born on October 16, 1991 in Woodland, CA. J-Fred also has a pet dog who he got in late-2015. He made a post on Instagram trying to get opinions on whether he should name her Sasha or Cali and decided to go with the latter. On August 16th, 2019, J-Fred proposed to Kelly Bahr and on October 26th, they married. They had their son Indiana, or "Indy", on March 16th, 2021.

J-Fred joined YouTube on September 13th of 2013. He uploaded his first video titled "Matthias and J Fred’s Insane Parkour!!!!!!!" on October 12, 2013. Alongside, Matthias and Bryan, Team Edge uploaded their first video on September 28th, 2015. J-Fred also frequently appeared on other Hi5 channels like Team Edge Gaming (until it was canceled), and Battle Universe (until there was a complete personnel shift). He also made a guest appearance in the REKT video "Giant Concrete Hammer VS. Fruit!".

In April 2019, J-Fred turned his personal channel into a DIY channel named "LemonMade" where he and his friends Graham, Ryan ("Raff"), and later Seth, do construction based videos at J-Fred's house. The channel shut down in January of 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Graham, Ryan, and Seth still make scattered appearances on Team Edge today.
