According to Steven Hall Jr.'s website, he was taught to be a survivalist by both his father and grandfather at a young age. Hall is also a self-taught professional artist that goes by the pseudonym Nevets Killjoy. He has painted "several murals and over a thousand canvases." Prior to becoming an artist he worked as a bartender for several bars in downtown Orlando, Fla.
The Naked and Afraid XL star is a man of considerable faith, and he told Christian Activities in September 2017 that he uses the teaching of the church to guide him in all aspects of life. "I learned that whatever I do in life to do it to my best ability, from surviving naked in Africa for 40 days or just cleaning up my house," he said. Hall recalled a particularly difficult night filming the show in Alabama. "It was the worst night of my life ... I said the Lord's Prayer in my head for hours," Hall said to Christian Activities. Being on the Discovery series helped humble him. "When you're stripped of everything, it makes you appreciate the people in your life," he told the Orlando Sentinel in 2016 (via NevetsKilljoy).
Hall has been in a long-term relationship during his appearances on the hit reality show. Even though he was stranded with a nude female, his partner was more concerned about his safety. "She was more worried about me getting hurt. I'd never do anything to mess with the relationship," he told the Sentinel.
