Reddit user does not link personal info so here it is:
Registrant Name: Michael Murphy

Registrant City: Jacksonville
Registrant State/Province: Florida
Registrant Postal Code: 32204
Registrant Country: US
Registrant Phone: +1.9045271042

Following the train of logic of the reddit poster, I erroneously believed this was the culprit:
Michael C Murhpy, president of the UoF. Previously under fire for getting Donald Trump Jr to speak at the school for $50K

However, a company called Eco-Relics exists with the same address info as the WHOIS info. The owner of which is another Michael Murphy who had himself listed as President and CEO of Murphy Capital LLC in "Asheville NC". Googeling Murphy Capital North Carolina gives a Burnsville, NC address. The email address in the WHOIS stuck out. I looked up "Lower Pig Pen" and it brought up a road in Green Mountain, North Carolina. Looking up the distance between Burnsville and Lower Pigpen Rd, Green Mountain NC reveals that they are attached.
