Jet Del Castillo was born on September 24, 1983 in the Philippines. Growing up in Southern California, he quickly developed a passion for airsoft, a passion that would eventually shape his entire career.
Jet began playing airsoft in 2002, honing his skills and building a deep understanding of the game. After graduating from high school, he made the decision to enlist in the military. Serving as a hospital corpsman in the U.S. Navy, Jet completed one tour in Iraq, solidifying his dedication to serving his country.
Jet's time in the military allowed him to develop invaluable skills and experiences that would later prove instrumental in his airsoft career. After serving actively from 2006 to 2008, Jet continued his service in the reserves until 2010.
Upon returning to the U.S. after his military service, Jet decided to combine his love for airsoft with his entrepreneurial spirit. Using the money he had saved during his time in the military, he started his own airsoft business, laying the foundation for his future success in the industry.
Jet quickly made a name for himself in the airsoft community, becoming known as DesertFoxAirsoft, the first professional airsoft player in the U.S. He gained recognition for his skills and expertise, traveling across the country to participate in national-level military simulation airsoft events.
Jet's passion for airsoft extends beyond his professional career. His parents supported his love for the sport, even buying him land near Route 66 in California where he built structures for airsoft games. This unwavering support fueled Jet's dedication to the sport, shaping him into the successful player and YouTuber he is today.
In addition to his thriving airsoft career, Jet found love with fellow YouTuber Unicorn Leah, whom he later married. Together, they continue to share their passion for airsoft with their followers, inspiring a new generation of players.
