Personal Life
Savage and his wife Julia were married in 2002. He has twin sons from a previous relationship. He wears a hearing aid on his left ear due to a congenital condition. He is a practiced juggler, as seen on Mythbusters. He is also an atheist. He has a lifelong interest in costume making. He said, "I remember my mom getting me a 'Jaws' costume when 'Jaws' came out...and wearing a Batman costume. Back then, everyone dressed up as hobos." He strives for authenticity with his costumes. While in high school, he and his father made a suit of armor out of aluminum roof flashing that had 700 rivets. He said, "I wore it to school and passed out from heat exhaustion in math class. I woke up in the nurse's office and the first thing I said was 'Where's my armor'?" In 2011, he built a costume based on the character No-Face from the film Spirited Away. In early 2012, it was announced that he would be the commencement speaker at Sarah Lawrence College.
