Early life

Jack Douglass was born in Columbia, Maryland on June 30, 1988. He has two older sisters. Douglass went to elementary school and middle school in Maryland. He had come to find a childhood love with mathematics and English during attendance. Douglass stated in his Draw My Life video that his love for English was the inspiration for his creation of the Your Grammar Sucks series. During high school, he started to develop a love for music. He then began to play the French horn as well as the piano. In May 2006, during his senior year of high school, he was given the task of making a video about all the books he had read during the year. He and his friends decided to film a series of short sketches that made fun of books such as Beowulf and All the King's Men. After making these sketches, he decided that he wanted to make films to a greater extent. By the next month, he had begun using YouTube and had started to upload videos.
