Career
Shaycarl was an evening DJ for radio station KFTZ in Idaho when video blogger Philip DeFranco held a contest for which Shaycarl posted a video response. DeFranco saw the video and decided to promote Shaycarl's content, boosting the number of views for the Shaycarl channel.

He left KFTZ during the summer of 2009 to move to Los Angeles, to enter into business with other YouTubers in a video platform known as TheStation.

Other channels
Shaycarl is a YouTube partner with ShayLoss and ShayTards. Since March 5, 2009, he has posted a video each day to Shaytards documenting everyday occurrences in his life. As of 26 December 2009 he has created 297 of these videos.

He also created a ShayLoss channel where he vlogs occasionally about his efforts to lose weight. He discusses his raw food diet and invites others to discuss their own diets via video response.

Besides making videos for his own channels, Shaycarl can be seen on the live broadcasting site BlogTV, where as of 21 December 2009 he had 193 live shows and 234 recordings. In November 2009, Shaycarl appeared in a flash mob which used Midi Mafia's PHamous as a backing track. Shaycarl has three children with his wife (known on YouTube as "MommyTard"), a son (known as "SonTard"), a daughter (known as "PrincessTard") and a baby (known as "BabyTard"). In late 2009, Mommytard anounced on Shay's vlog that she is pregnent with another "childtard"! As of June 10, 2010, Mommytard gave birth to a baby boy, known as "RockTard". On August 9th, 2010, the "ShayTards" announced that they are going to do "One-Take Sundays." Many people thought this was the end of the daily vlogs but it actually meant that the vlogs posted on Sunday's would be shorter. They would basically film the video and upload it in it's entirety with no editing, because editing is what takes more time for vloggers.

In the summer of 2010, Shaycarl created an iPhone channel called iPhoneTARD where he films short clips with his iPhone and directly uploads it to YouTube.
