==Early Theorist Career==
Dan started off as an editor for the Fine Brothers/React Media in 2012 and worked there until 2017. During this time he met Matpat at the Fine Brother's 10 million subscriber party. The two of them hit it off immediately, spending most of the party discussing about video games.Explaining the Game Theory Iceberg w/@absofruitlyash-That Cybert Channel, Aprl 20 2023. The meeting proved to be so significant that in March of 2017, Dan became a freelance editor for Theorist. Matt promised that he could 'keep Dan busy' with work, a promise that appears to have remained true to this day.Draw My Life - Dan Cybert (100K Special)-That Cybert Channel. First Aired May 29 2021. Dan has spoke highly of Matpat at multiple times throughout the years, at one point saying his time with Theorist has made it one of the "most awarding jobs I've ever had." 
===First Episode ===
Dan's first official edit for Theorist was for the Film Theory: Westworld's Secret Location - REVEALED!, which aired Apr 18, 2017. Dan complained that this was a memorial start to his career as the first edit note on the script said "Matpat needs to be in a chair, unclothed. Please censor."The Game Theory 10th Anniversary Celebration!-Game Theory, live streamed Apr 30, 2021. Dan noted this probably got him on "so many watchlists".
On Sept 24th, 2017, Dan and the other editors won Best Editing Award at the 7th Annual Streamy Awards.
====Defy====
In November of 2018, the multi-channel network Defy collapsed, resulting in the loss of an entire month of revenue for TheoristThey stole $1.7 million-Game Theory. First aired Jan 24 2019.. Dan went on record to discuss how this contributed to a sense of impending doom and burnout in several creators and teams in his personal video, "YouTube is Responsible for Burnout (A Game Theory Editor's Story)". Matpat and Steph have also gone on record to note that this was a critical turning point for their company, forcing them to restructure and regroup so they could "figure out what mattered".The Real Reason MatPat Quit Youtube-Colin and Samir. Time Stamp: 28:12. First aired Feb 5 2024. This is turn, likely impacted Dan's career as they created the position of "Head Editor" around this time.
==Head Editor==
Dan's editing style and leadership has had a profound impact on the look and feel of modern Theorist episodes. He was the editor who first introduced the stock figure affectionately known as Ed Crouse by the fandom. Ed Crouse has become such a well known asset in Theorist vids that Dan states that he can never meet the real life model. Dan has also recruited his friends to work for Theorist, including editors Jerika and Shannon (Bomb0i).At one point, Dan's wife, Alyssa worked for Theorist as a Assistant Editor, under the name "AlyssaBeCrazy", before leaving sometime around 2022-23 to pursue a voice acting career. 
At times Dan has made (in his words) controversial editorial choices, such as suggesting shortening the Witty Banter on GTLive. He based that decision based on analytics that show audience members often skip the banter portion of the vids.
===Guest VO Episodes===
To date, Dan and Steph are the only two members of Theorist to serve as a "substitute Host"/VO for the Channels. Dan has voiced over multiple episodes for Matt when he was too sick to work, while Steph has done VO for one Style Theory episodeStyle Theory: Your Soap WON'T Get You Clean?!-Style Theory, Air Date: Jul 6 2023. and has posted a secret "anniversary" episode dedicated to Matt on Game Theory.Game Theory: Matpat, I STOLE Your Channel!-Game Theory, Air Date: May 19, 2022.
