Glenn James Dyer (Born 9 April 1995, Age 21) is most well known as the creator, writer, director, and lead actor of almost every single video on Dyercentral, which was named after him.
Biography
Early Life
Glenn Dyer was raised by his Mother, Sharon Sjeie, in Orange, California, along with his older sister, Emma Dyer. From a very young age he was exposed to an incredibly large DVD/VHS collection which his family had been compiling for many years. The influence from these movies are what inspired him to pursue a career of filmmaking in the future. As a child, he created several elaborate and fantastical stories revolving around some of his toys, most notably a collection of Bionicles and two boxes of Knex. Some of these stories were realised in crude stop-motion films and elaborate photographs.
Pre Dyercentral
In mid-2009, Glenn began living with his Aunt and Uncle whist attending High School. It was there that he met Alex Kawecki, Rob Bergman, and Dylan Leedy, the three main contributors of many early sketches and occasional guest reviewers on A Dyer-Situation.
In August of 2010, whilst staying at the home of his cousin, Scott Tweed, Glenn teamed up to create the YouTube channel g5366s2c88 (GlennScott with all but the capitalised letters translated into their keypad numbers with the 'o' mistyped as 'c'). The videos posted were crude and somewhat offensive, but the joy of filmmaking was once again reawakened within Glenn Dyer.
Dyercentral
Glenn Dyer would continue making videos for g5366s2c88 off and on for several years, but he completely released control of the channel to Scott Tweed after coming up with a new channel, Dyercentral. The idea was to create a channel that was 100% Glenn Dyer content, something which he could put a lot of effort into without necessarily needing anyone else.
At the beginning, there were many ideas for things to put on, but most of them were either too elaborate or not considered good enough for the channel's perspective image. The channel was barren for several months by the time Rob Bergman invited Glenn to help make The Huh Sketch, a video for his own channel, 303nohbdy. The video was filmed at Glenn's house and starred Glenn, Alex Kawecki, Dylan Leedy, and Rob Bergman as the different characters. The sketch comedy, actors of choice, and the use of Glenn's home for filming set the precedent of early Dyercentral.
The Original Sketches
At the time of the first Dyercentral video Glenn Dyer had two major projects planned, a Back to the Future Parody called Back to the Scooter, and The Extreme Series. At this time Glenn had multiple ideas, but no knowledge of how to accomplish them or how to keep a reasonable presence of the channel.
