About Dawayne
Dawayne is a Boise-based content creator and social media manager who built a following by telling dad jokes to coworkers, bar guests, and anyone who'd stand still long enough. What started as a joke told to a coworker named Iain turned into a viral series with over 8 million views.
He creates authentic, family-friendly short-form video content — the kind people actually watch, share, and save. His content lives at the intersection of bar culture, dad humor, and Boise realness. No filters, no scripts, just real reactions.
Dawayne also manages social media for Solid Grill & Bar and Liquid Boise, giving him a unique perspective on what makes branded content actually work.
