While Hawk remains a somewhat combative person to this day, he has mellowed out considerably since the late 2010s, and has gone on to have a far more peaceful time with SBC than his prior years spent on SBM. The Sharing Time thread "Anger, Debates, Empathy, and Socialism" contains his reflections on his own personality and political views over time. | While Hawk remains a somewhat combative person to this day, he has mellowed out considerably since the late 2010s, and has gone on to have a far more peaceful time with SBC than his prior years spent on SBM.

His primary agenda since being promoted to staff has been to bring more video game-based events to SBC, with his most notable creation in that pursuit being [[SpongeCraft Forge]] and its predecessor, SpongeCraft Frontiers, both of which he has led since the launch of Frontiers in July 2023. He organizes the recurring [[Community Mixtape]] music project, and in December 2023, was the host of the [[The Golden Community Awards|Golden Community Awards]] XVII. As a moderator, Hawk tends to be a "wild card" among the staff, occasionally acting on his own initiative toward agendas both inside of and beyond SBC itself, and often without prior input from other staff members; most notably, he was responsible for bringing [[ZaidCatDog|Zaid]] back to SBC in August 2024. | ||
Later into his time on SBM, Hawk became known as a skilled rhetorical writer, frequently navigating arguments on politics and other real-world subjects with other members on both sides of the spectrum. This was a point of pride for him, and as his 2018 return to SBC coincided with a leftward shift in his own political views, he eventually became one of SBC's primary progressive voices. Despite slowing down on his participation in political discussions since the early 2020s, Hawk is still known to challenge and test friends and acquaintances on their beliefs, especially outside of the greater SBC community. | Later into his time on SBM, Hawk became known as a skilled rhetorical writer, frequently navigating arguments on politics and other real-world subjects with other members on both sides of the spectrum.

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. | 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."

Much like [[ZaidCatDog|Zaid]], Hawk has diverse interests spanning, among other things, music, gaming, and history, but arguably his most well-known is his passion for aviation.

Typically credited as either "Wedge" or "Kaze", he has also lent his voice to other acts on platforms such as Digital Combat Simulator World and Roblox, including as narrator for the [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXa2UMXsE3zLaCmErtDj4ZQ Virtual Raptor Demo Team] (VRDT) and [https://www.youtube.com/@virtuallegacyhornetdemo/featured Virtual Legacy Hornet Demo Team] (VLHD). | ||
