Why He’s Interesting: Kinsley has sent waves through the TikTok community with his comical, quippy videos on sports, music video parodies and Ohio stereotypes. Everyone needs a good laugh sometimes and, luckily, Kinsley, better known as “Sir Yacht,” is here to deliver. 

The Big Break: Kinsley’s content-creating journey began when the Browns went 0-16, and his friend encouraged him to make a rant. “It got picked up by SportsCenter’s Snapchat and went viral.”

The Big Dogs: The TikToker has caught the eye of at least one local big shot. “Nick Chubb wished me a happy birthday … that was wild.”

Cooking Catastrophe: Kinsley was on seasons 21 and 22 of Worst Cooks in America on the Food Network. “It did really teach me I can do anything if I kind of put my mind to it honestly. And now I’m not as bad as a cook as I once was.”

Best Advice from Kinsley: “I love what I do. For anybody who wants to do something … go do it. Go take some steps to do it.”

Interesting Fact: Sir Yacht stood in for Liam Neeson on a movie set in Cleveland.
