About
To his 237,000 YouTube subscribers and 300,000 TikTok followers, Colby Eubanks is a nomadic filmmaker documenting life across 58 countries. But his career was forged through Midwestern action sports and the rigid logistics of the U.S. Air Force. Now armed with a diversified business model and a recent industry award, Eubanks is moving toward mainstream media — culminating at the 2025 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
Colby Eubanks: From Air Force IT Technician and Freeskier to Global Travel Filmmaker
Born February 13, 2002, in Virginia. His first content artifact: a school Prezi project dated June 16, 2014. YouTube channel created July 6, 2014. Early work centered on freeskiing — "Colby Eubank's week at Ohio Dreams Action Sports Camp" (2015), comedy sketch "Student Stereotypes" (May 2016, Camp Ernst Middle School). In November 2019: "Disruptive Innovation," his first full-length ski film involving dozens of featured skiers.
The defining chapter: service as Senior Airman Colby Eubanks at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington. As an ITAM technician with the 92nd Communication Squadron (~2017), he managed hardware/software requests and reviewed purchase orders. Quoted in an official base publication: "Keeping track of IT assets for the Air Force allows for maximum cost return on equipment" — a mindset of fiscal discipline that informs his current film production budgets.
