Contrado has been using Charlottesville Area Transit to get around town, and is known to sit in a Starbucks for Wi-Fi.

He has a “Mise En Place” tattoo on top of his right hand, a tribal lion tattoo upper right bicep, a beach scene, and a “one love” tattoo on his lower right forearm, a Rick and Morty stick figure tattoo on the left lower forearm.
