Nice to meet you!
I’d love to tell you more about me
2026
Right now I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. My life revolves around making content all day everyday and playing as much tennis as humanly possible. I’ve been playing since I could walk! Currently you can always count on me to be working out in the morning (and posting after-gym pics on my Snap story) and posting all sorts of videos, whether on Instagram, TikTok, or… ummm.. another website… 😉
I moved here in 2025 from Jacksonville, Florida and have loved every minute of it. Arizona feels like the perfect place for me.

Let’s go WAY back
I was born on December 12, 2000 in Utah and lived there until I was 19 years old! I loved growing up there. Little Duke’s favorite things to do were play sports (basketball and tennis mostly), make silly Youtube videos, and take pictures. I had two dogs growing up, both Chihuahua’s, and have two siblings.
When I turned 14 the thing I loved to do most was take pictures, and somehow two years later when I was 16 I turned it into a career after some wedding photos I had taken went viral on Instagram. Suddenly all my dreams came true and I was being asked to fly all over the world to take photos of the most incredible couples. In order to do this I had to graduate High School 2 years early so I could travel full time!
Flash forward to 2020. I’m 19 and have been doing photography (under my photo alias, Duke Moose) full time for three years when suddenly covid hits. TikTok blows up and I randomly started making them for fun to pass the time. On May 3, 2020 I made an account called @willywonkatiktok where I decided to do skits and dress up like Willy Wonka and one month later I had one million followers!
Over the next several months my video’s did better and better and I decided to put photography on hold to chase my dream of being a content creator. In August 2020 I gained 9 Million TikTok followers in one month and in October 2020 I moved to Los Angeles, California!
For the next 2 years I kept making my silly Willy Wonka TikTok videos everyday and continued growing my online presence. I was making videos everyday + putting on long daily livestreams! Eventually I began slowly shifting my content to making more without the costume and being.. well.. Duke!
Moving to LA was a dream! I drove there on my own and Day 1 got to pick up my keys to my very own apartment on the 15th floor of a great complex. I am super grateful for that time in my life, I grew up so much leaving home for the first time and meeting so many incredible people.
Late 2022 I was ready for a change and packed my things to move all the way across the country to Jacksonville, Florida. I was able to buy my first house (OMG!) and lived there for the next couple years.
After 3 years there I once again was ready for a change (and less humidity) and thats when I discovered Arizona. I was spending a lot of time in Scottsdale and absolutely loved everything about it. The weather, the food, the tennis, the people! I knew it was the place for me.
I sold my Florida house and bought my house in Arizona in May of 2025 and have been having the greatest time ever since! I’m closer to family, who still live in Utah, am now an uncle to three little ones who are my favorite thing ever and am still creating content full time!
Thank you for being a part of my journey.
