History
Ethan Mark Nestor (yes his middle name is actually Mark) was originally born in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. He spent most of his time either recording videos with his friends, taking improv, or practicing gymnastics. He started his first channel on August 29th, 2012. His first video is labeled "Dirty Mic and the Boys: Happy Wheels Gameplay Numero Uno." It was uploaded on August 30th, 2012 on his first channel the original "CrankGamePlays." In the video Ethan and his friend play a few levels of Happy Wheels.

He later started another channel called "Cranky Vlogs" in May 2013 and at the end of 2015, Ethan decided to make a new channel called "CrankGamePlays." The last video he uploaded to his original channel was "Dying my hair Blue." In the video he dyes his hair because he promised he would for charity reasons. He dyed his hair blue on October 16th, 2015 (around the same time as Markiplier and JackSepticEye). Later on he tells us that he decided to move to a new channel because he had made a few gameplays with his grandmother. He had gained allot of subscribers because of that and they only wanted him to make gameplays with her. He said that he didn't want to feel like he was exploiting his grandmother. He also moved because all of the subscriber inactivity was actually affecting the way his channel was shown in search results. He had about 25,000 subscribers on his old channel and only about 200 of them were active.

He graduated from CEHS (Cape Elizabeth High School) in 2015. After graduating, Ethan decided to move to Portland, Maine and take a "gap year" to focus on YouTube. He considered going to Full Sail University in Florida and living with his uncle, but never applied for college and ended up sticking to posting videos.

His biggest inspiration for posting videos was his dad, PewDiePie, and the GameGrumpz. He watched a lot of Markiplier's videos and first met Mark at a Pax Panel called "Markiplier and Friends" in 2014. He talked to Bob and worked it out to do a backflip in front of the famous Markiplier. He also backflipped for Mark the next year at Pax 2015 and was remembered as the "backflip dude." From then on Mark and Ethan became friends and in November of 2016 Mark asked Ethan if he wanted to move out to L.A with him and edit his videos. Ethan gladly agreed and now lives by himself in L.A. He makes daily videos and occasionally collabs with his close friends Mark (Markiplier), Bob (Muyskerm), Wade (LordMinion777), Seán (JackSepticEye), Gerald (OGchan), and Brian (Girbeagly). Before he moved to L.A and became a frequent in Mark's videos, he had about 5,000 subs. He's becoming more well-known and now has over 350,000 subs. He also has a weekly Podcast called "Trash Goblin Podcast" with his friend from high school, Andrew (Lanky Randman. A name that Ethan and Andrew came up with together.)
