Jerry Banfield

I write books that tell the story of my life as it happens. My series, Daily Autobiography, is my unfiltered record of living honestly — documenting each season of change, healing, and discovery through daily reflections written or dictated in real time.

Before I began writing full-time, I spent over a decade as an online creator with millions of followers across YouTube, Facebook, Udemy, and other platforms. I experienced the highs of internet fame and the emptiness that came with it, eventually deleting everything to start over and reconnect with real life.

I live in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I focus on being a father, writer, and coach. My work explores what it means to live truthfully — from marriage and sobriety to divorce, spirituality, and rebuilding from the ground up.

I write to share what I’m learning, to make peace with my past, and to remind anyone reading that they’re not alone. The book I recommend reading first is I Was Famous on the Internet to get to know me.
