## Early life

Dylan was born in Maryland in 2001. He is of German and Irish descent.

In 2019, Dylan developed an interest in 2020 presidential candidate Mike Gravel and contacted his national campaign. He was then made director for Gravel's Maryland chapter.

Later that year, Dylan and other members of the Maryland chapter protested the creation of a militarized campus police force in John Hopkins University. The team also expressed support for the Maryland Food Co-op, which faced potential closure by the University of Maryland.

After the end of the Gravel Campaign, Dylan went on to run for College Park city council at the age of 18. His campaign advocated for increased worker co-ops, social services, environmental protections, public safety and more. However, he was ultimately unable to run due to a hidden law requiring candidates to have voting registration at least a year before elections take place.

Dylan's activism was later noted by local progressive candidate Mckayla Wilkes, who ran for Maryland's 5th congressional district. Wilkes hired Dylan to become her foreign policy advisor.

## Debate Sphere

In 2020, Dylan started to make online political content promoting left-wing viewpoints, anti-imperialism and political work within the Democratic party. He also founded the Hippy Dippy Podcast, which hosts debates, discussions and competitions.
