YouTube
Maron's original channel was ProsDONTtalkSHIT. Maron uploaded mostly Call of Duty videos and worked for Machinima.com.

On July 20, 2010, he created his new channel, CaptainSparklez, due to the explicit language on his other YouTube channel, and kept posting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 gameplay. As Minecraft became mildly popular, Jordan posted a few Minecraft videos and soon he completely switched his channel from Call Of Duty to Minecraft. His popular Minecraft videos include his parodies and his Minecraft "Let's Play" series, called "Minecraft: Modded Survival," which is now in its third season, called "Aether 2 Survival".

The nickname came from his friends, named SeaNanners and DataCracked on Youtube, in which they jokingly agreed on having it be Captain Sparklez when Jordan was looking for a name.

Jordan has (as of December 2012) parodied four popular songs. In music videos Jordan is always accompanied by fellow YouTuber "TryHardNinja", who provides the lead vocals in all of the parody videos. All of the parodies published by Maron have gone viral to different degrees. As of April 8, 2013, "TNT" has earned 60 million views, "Revenge" has earned 100 million views, surpassing the original song, "DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love" and making it the most watched gaming related video on YouTube ever, "Fallen Kingdom" has earned 53 million views, and "Minecraft Style" has earned 43 million views (but has since been taken down). "Minecraft Style" particularly also achieved media coverage by NBC, MSN, and The Daily Telegraph, among several other online news publications. "Minecraft Style" is the third-most viewed "Gangnam Style" parody, but has been removed for copyright infringement by Sony and Universal. It was later re-posted on July 27, 2013.
