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 six million subscribers and his videos have amounted to over a billion views as of April 2021. [5] His videos are noted for their high production value and frequent use of Glidecam stabilizers. [8] Some of his revenue comes from corporate sponsorships for his videos; which have included the clothing brand Vooray, [9] Timex, Kelloggs, [10] Bear Naked, [4] Mountain Dew, Ford, Ubisoft, [11] and Reebok, as well as Speed Stick Gear. [12] Graham won a Streamy Award for cinematography in 2015 at the 5th Streamy Awards. [13]

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". [14] [15] They have since ended their relationship, but still remain friends. [15]

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. [16]

Graham married Megan Smee on August 12, 2016. [17] In November 2019 Megan and Devin's son, Atlas Michael Graham, was born. [18]
