Career

Graham began making films of his stunts snowboarding at an early age. After breaking his back and legs snowboarding, he shifted his focus to being behind the camera.[6][7] He studied film making at Brigham Young University with the original intent on working on feature films.[6] After seeing the successes of YouTube videos, specifically one made on a cellphone that amassed over two million views, Graham opted to focus on making videos of his own rather than completing his degree.[6]

Graham mostly produces, films, and edits his videos on his own.[6] In a number of occasions, Graham has stated that he's worked with his roommate Jeff Harmon, others for sound, and cameramen if required.[6] In Logan, Utah, he recruited 30 fan volunteers to help him shoot a snowball fight after making a public appeal on Facebook.[6]

Graham's YouTube channel has more than four million subscribers and his videos have amounted to over a billion views as of November 2017.[5] His videos are noted for their high production value and frequent use of Glidecam stabilizers. Some of his revenue comes from corporate sponsorships for his videos; which have included the clothing brand Vooray,[8] Timex, Kelloggs,[9] Bear Naked,[4] Mountain Dew, Ford, Ubisoft,[10] and Reebok, as well as Speed Stick Gear.[11]

Personal life

For a short time he dated fellow YouTube celebrity Lindsey Stirling; they both attended the same university and church.[7] The two began dating shortly after the filming of the music video for Stirling's "Crystallize".[12][13] They have since ended their relationship, but still remain friends.[13]

Graham also dated Hailey Gardiner from the singing group Gardiner Sisters. "Happily Ever After", a song from their EP, Better, was written by Hailey in reference to the dissolution of their relationship.[14]

Graham married Megan Smee on August 12, 2016.
