Early life
Owen Shroyer was born in St. Louis in 1990 (age 33) to mother Annette Shroyer.

Adult life
Shroyer worked as radio host for KXFN and KFNS. Since 2016, he has worked for InfoWars as both a host and a video editor. He presented the platform's War Room show.

In 2018, Shroyer was named in a lawsuit filed in Texas against InfoWars and its owner, Alex Jones, by the parents of children who were killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, including Neil Heslin. Shroyer personally claimed on air in June 2017 that it was impossible that Neil Heslin, father of Sandy Hook victim Jesse Lewis, could have held his son's body after the tragedy and suggested in further comments that Heslin was lying about his son's death. These defamatory claims, combined with others made by Alex Jones, resulted in InfoWars being found liable for damages. On August 4, 2022, a Texas jury awarded the Sandy Hook plaintiffs $4.1 million in compensatory damages and an additional $45.2 million in punitive damages.

In January 2022, Shroyer falsely claimed that Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau signed a $1 million non-disclosure agreement with a minor who had allegedly accused him of sexual misconduct, citing articles from the Buffalo Chronicle, a fake news website.

In June 2023, Shroyer pleaded guilty to illegally entering a restricted area near the United States Capitol building during the January 6 attack. He was arrested and charged in August 2021. On September 12, 2023, he was sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Prior to his guilty plea, Shroyer agreed to defer his prosecution for interrupting a congressional hearing. In 2019, he interrupted a Congress impeachment hearing to share his views that Donald Trump was innocent and that “Jerry Nadler and the Democrat Party are committing treason in this country!”

Shroyer lives in Austin, Texas.
