Throughout the 2010s, Hawk presented himself as a no-nonsense, conflict-loving "hard truth-teller", and often played up his interests in stereotypically-male subjects, in what he now refers to as "acts of overcompensation." To the surprise and amusement of many SBCers, he would take a drastic turn away from this behavior in August 2020 by [https://www.thesbcommunity.com/forums/index.php?/topic/18396-mlp-friendship-is-magic-or-how-i-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-the-color-pink/ proclaiming] that he had become a "late-bloomer brony", a fact that continues to define his online presence today. This began a trend of Hawk intentionally subverting his older self-image, which would eventually culminate in him coming out to the community as nonbinary in October 2023, after he had also come out as pansexual in 2019.

Hawk has diverse interests spanning, among other things, music, gaming, and history, but arguably his most well-known is his passion for aviation. Since 2011, he has had a similarly storied connection with the community of the indie flight simulator [https://ysflight.org/ YSFlight], and has become one of its most key figures, helping to drive players to the sim with word-of-mouth advertising and one-on-one player support. He is the leader and co-founder of the Virtual Collective of Aerial Performers (VCAP), a group founded in 2021 primarily dedicated to hosting virtual airshows in YSFlight, ~~with Hawk as~~ its ~~organizer, live host, and creative director~~. Typically credited as either "Wedge" or "Kaze", he has also lent his ~~distinctive~~ voice to other ~~performing~~ acts on platforms such as Digital Combat Simulator World and Roblox, including as narrator for the Virtual Raptor Demo Team (VRDT) and Virtual Legacy Hornet Demo Team (VLHD).
