He lives deep in the northern part of California called the State of Jefferson; a ghost state that lies in a portion of both Northern California and Southern Oregon. Although it is not legally recognized by the government as a state in the union, supporters continue to fight to make it so.

Splitting wood is one of the regular chores he does around his house. He just happened to film himself doing it one day and the rest is history. "I'm showing one of a hundred [chores] and a lot of people don't know any of the other ones."
He turned that skill into log-splitting porn and a viral sensation was born.
"I'm saying this in the most humble way I can," Thoren said in an interview with The Residency Podcast. "When I started splitting wood on TikTok I'd never seen a splitting wood video on any social media platform. The first fucking video that I posted didn't get a million views dude, it got like 20,000 views, maybe, after the course of a couple months of it being up. But I just decided, hey, you know what this is something I can film that super-easy cuz it's already part of my day; I'm not having to set up something different or dress different."
He has a master's degree in exercise physiology. He could have pursued a fully funded scholarship for a Ph.D. but chose not to.
After becoming a viral success, Thoren decided to give back to his community. He donates about 60-70% of the wood he chops to some of the seniors who live in the area.
Thoren has considered starting an OnlyFans, but discussed his reasoning why he hasn't launched one yet.
"I got to a point where I was like I could do an OnlyFans," he explained to the hosts of The Residency Podcast, "but would that 10Gs a month or however much - 10Gs a week, no matter how much money it is bro, you'll just adjust your lifestyle to come to meet however much you're making. You don't ever feel better about how much you're making after that first paycheck."
He makes one thing clear: If he did start an OnlyFans, there would be no full-frontal. "I'm not going to be showing any taters," he said with a laugh.
He didn't grow up with social media, so he taught himself how to use different platforms and their algorithms to make money.
He created a fitness app called ÅŒhk which was renamed Dose. It's a one-stop app for people who want to get physically fit. The program includes tips, routines, and even personal encouragement from Thoren himself.
Thor has become one of the favorite thirst traps to follow on social media by the gay community. He admits that he is a vain individual, but he doesn't want to become an egotistical one. With all of his confidence, he says he wants to be attractive to himself; drawn to who he is as a person.
As far as all the compliments he gets online, keep them coming, "Because I don't care where the fuck it comes from, a compliment is a compliment is a compliment."
He adds that he does watch the TikTok duets (a side-by-side reaction filter) people send him too. "I'm trying to find a good place to come to where I can accept the attention but not let the attention really change the way I view the content."
