Biography

Edward Gallo "Ned" Fulmer (born June 11, 1987) is an American internet personality, author, and a co-founder of 2ND TRY, the Try Guys official independent media company, established alongside Keith Habersberger, Eugene Lee Yang, and Zach Kornfeld. He had a career working in a chemistry lab before he had a career change and started working at Buzzfeed, where Fulmer developed the video fellowship program. He previously lived in Chicago, working at a renewable energy lab by day and performing improv and sketch for Second City and iO Chicago house teams by night, where he was named a "Critic's Pick" by Time Out Chicago. He is married to Ariel Marie Fulmer (née VandeVoorde), an interior designer, and they have two children. The Verge highlighted that much of Fulmer's "public persona revolves around being a husband" and that he "successfully built a fanbase and brand around this relationship specifically", calling him a "wife guy". In September 2022, Fulmer became the focus of attention after it was discovered that he was having an affair with an employee. Following the discovery, the Try Guys official pages announced that Fulmer would no longer be working for the company.
