His father was a member of the Gregg Allman Band where he played percussion. As a youngster, Trippy often toured with his father's band. His younger sister, Melissa Trippy, is also an internet personality.[7][8]

Career

As a YouTuber

Trippy started his YouTube channel CTFxC in 2008, although the daily vlogs only started on May 1, 2009.[11] Initially, Trippy planned to do daily video blogs for one year, however, he continued to create videos daily after completing the first year. As of 2020, Trippy's daily vlogs is in its 11th year. Calling his daily vlogging series Internet Killed Television, it chronicles his daily life with his wife Allie Marie Trippy (born Wesenberg) and their pets, friends and family.[12] The series formerly featured Trippy's ex-wife, Allison Speed, who would vlog with him for almost six years before they separated in 2014.[13][14]

Trippy was featured in the documentary film Vlogumentary which was developed by Shay Carl in 2016.[15] One of the channel's video was covered by Good Morning America in 2016.[16]

As a musician

Trippy began his music career in 2001 as a bassist for the Bradenton-based post-hardcore band, Funny Looking Kid. He took part in 2002 and 2003 Warped Tour with the band.[9] Funny Looking Kid broke up in 2005.

In 2011, Trippy joined We the Kings as the bass player replacing Drew Thomsen who left the group earlier that year. He recorded his first studio album with the band, Somewhere Somehow, in 2013.[17] The album debuted at no. 44 on the Billboard 200 and at no. 6 on the Top Rock Albums charts.[4] In 2014 and 2015, Trippy recorded Stripped and Strange Love respectively, with We the Kings. Self Titled Nostalgia and Six were released in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Trippy has performed across the United States on the Vans Warped Tour as the bass player for We the Kings.[18] As a member of the band, We the Kings, Trippy has received Platinum record by Australian Recording Industry Association. In 2016, he received Platinum certification from RIAA for "Check Yes Juliet". In 2017 and 2018, Trippy received Gold certifications for Strange Love and "Sad Song" from RIAA.[19]

Personal life

In March 2012, Trippy was diagnosed with a benign oligodendroglioma brain tumor after having a seizure at the end of February. After the successful resection of the tumor, it recurred in September 2013 and was diagnosed as anaplastic oligodendroglioma brain cancer. His wife at the time, Alli Speed, helped him through this surgery. In October 2013, Trippy started oral chemotherapy to combat the remaining 5% left after his second resection. In July 2020, he underwent a third brain surgery that removed 100% of the tumor. Trippy filmed and uploaded his brain surgeries on his YouTube channel.[20] His videos received coverage from Salon.[21]

Trippy married Allie Marie Wesenberg in 2017. They have 2 daughters together. The couple was profiled by PETA on May 2, 2018.[22]
