Who I Am: From Ohio to YouTube
I'm Roman Atwood. You might know me from a hidden-camera prank, a family vlog or my podcast. Here's the short version of how I got here, and where the designs in this shop come from.
Where am I from?
Ohio. My full name is Roman Bernard Atwood, and I was born on May 28, 1983, in Millersport, Ohio.
How did it all start?
Selling DVDs. In 2006 I was at Warped Tour selling my "The Nerd Herd" DVDs.
YouTube. In 2009 I started posting on YouTube, and in 2010 I had a comedy channel called Sketch Empire.
What came after the pranks?
The prank years. My RomanAtwood channel became known for hidden-camera pranks. It has about 10 million subscribers, and I haven't posted there since 2016.
The vlogs. From 2013 and 2014 I started vlogging my everyday life with my family. RomanAtwoodVlogs now has over 15 million subscribers.
The podcast. On my birthday, May 28, 2022, I launched RomanAtwoodPodcast.
Where does Smile More fit in?
It's my message. Smile More started in 2013 as a message of positivity, and it's still the idea behind everything I make. You'll find it all over this shop, from the smiley sun to Heli Yeah.
What's in the shop?
Designs for the whole family. Every design comes on a tee, a long sleeve, a crewneck and a hoodie, plus kids' tees, youth crewnecks and youth hoodies. Every product page has its own size chart.
