Bleichner joined Young Thought Leaders in Media (YTLIM) for the 2012 Global Thought Conference Session. He made his first media splash as presenter and host of "Orbs In Action" in March 2012, becoming Orbsmann's first civilian presenter to be featured on international media outlets.

Early life
Bleichner was born to Dr. J. Carl Bleichner and Gail Bleichner in Williamsport, Pa. His father was of German and Irish descent and his mother is of English and Scottish ancestry. Bleichner was raised in the Roman Catholic faith. He has an older sister Laura. The family moved to Warner Robins, Ga in 1994 when Bleichner was 2 years old. Here Bleichner received drum lessons from Herman Nixon, the drummer of the famed southern rock band, Doc Holliday. In 2004, the family relocated to Savannah, Ga. It was in Savannah that Bleichner cultivated his "Signature Style", a technique of making loud shrill screeching noises and flailing about wildly that gained him local notoriety as a teenage ne'erdowell. Bleichner was arrested in 2010 on Tybee Island for screaming.
Musical Career and YTLIM
After graduating from Georgia State University in 2014, Bleichner had already spent two years in the Young Thought Leaders in Media program - an elite program that selects promising young thought leaders with a knack for producing media "for-the-brain." During this time, Bleichner was also touring with a number of musical acts as a professional "towel boy" for some of New York and L.A.'s biggest indie rock and roll acts and garnering a name for himself in the hospitality industry as a preferred guest at various hotel chains across the United States and Europe. Bleichner also released his own albums under the moniker, "Meat" each of which was recorded in a different port-o-john at a soon to be QT gas station's construction site in Henry, Country Georgia.

Skeleton Realm
In 2012 while attending the Young Thought Leaders in Media summit, Bleichner met Sam Wagstaff, a writer and tech "hyper-savant" responsible for the then infamous "Box Hack", in which he was able to turn a cardboard box into a 1986 Chevrolet Celebrity's cassette player. Bleichner and Wagstaff immediately became friends and began work on plans for creating a hitherto never before conceived style of record label - a label that focused on the production and sale of CD's containing digital mp3 tracks of various musical artists.
In 2020, ownership of Skeleton Realm LLC was transferred to media conglomerate MeMoreTV. MeMoreTV agreed to absorb Skeleton Realm in exchange for paying off its astronomical debt which amounted to over 1 billion USD. Bleichner had also amounted personal debts surpassing this figure and continues to hold the record for highest debt held by a 28 year old person, which amounted to over 100 Billion USD in personal credit card debt. MeMoreTV also paid this sum off in a personal deal made separately with Bleichner, the details of which remain unknown.
Skeleton Realm LIVE!
In 2022, Bleichner and Wagstaff signed a contract with MeMoreTV to produce 800,000 episodes of an hour long weekly internet livestream called Skeleton Realm LIVE! The show has since garnered the attention of various celebrities including Stark White White Whitaker and The Pastrymen. The show features Bleichner and Wagstaff giving information about their lives. The shows are not pre written or otherwise planned in any capacity as per the request of MeMoreTV executives who have demanded that Skeleton Realm LIVE feature completely off the cuff style podcast neo-real elements of hardcore reality speak for fans of modern day "real-talk" or "manbabble."
