Eckenrode began filming Vine videos in his hometown of Smithsburg, Maryland with his high school friends, most of which lightheartedly emphasized his dwarfism. By the time Vine shutdown, Eckenrode amassed a following of over two million viewers.
When TubeFilter (a website that interviews social media stars) asked Eckenrode about his YouTube fame, he stated "Honestly, it feels surreal thinking about having two million subscribers. It’s the best feeling knowing that I get to share my humour and life with so many people. It is humbling to know that I get to connect with so many fans from all demographics and its something I don’t take for granted."[1]
In 2019, Eckenrode co-starred with Logan Paul on his YouTube web series called "Best Friends". He additionally appeared in a music video for the well-received song Roxanne by Arizona Zervas who also attended Smithsburg High School with Eckenrode.
