He created Baldi's Basics in Education and Learning as the part of the annual Meta-Game Jam, which ended up taking 2nd place in the process. Despite being close to first, Micah's game was an instant hit, with YouTubers such as PewDiePie, Jacksepticeye, and Markiplier who began playing the game.

Micah also already made other games before the Baldi's Basics series. Their games were made for Petit Computer.

Micah is a hardworking person who has a passion for making games. He can be somewhat funny, one example being Baldi's Basics, which is supposed to be a nonsensical and funny game. Also, he likes memes, retro games and Nintendo games, which influence the creation of his games.
