Before he was the "biggest" streamer on Twitch—both literally and figuratively—Case Dylan Baker, known to millions as CaseOh, was just a guy mowing lawns in the humid heat of Dallas County, Arkansas. His rise from a maintenance worker to a global internet phenomenon is a masterclass in authenticity.

Born on May 9, 1998, in a small town often jokingly referred to as "Goobertown" by his fanbase, CaseOh’s life was far from the glamour of Los Angeles studios. He grew up in a "lower working-class" Christian household in Clarendon, Arkansas. There were no high-speed fiber optics or gaming mansions; just a trailer, a lawnmower, and a dream that seemed impossible.

The Maintenance Man Who Blew Up

CaseOh’s backstory is the stuff of American legend. He worked alongside his father, repairing equipment and cutting grass to make ends meet. "I didn't want to work a 9-to-5 forever," he once admitted. In late 2022, facing a declined card at a Dollar Store, he made a pivot that changed his life. He took his humor to TikTok.

• The Secret Sauce: CaseOh didn't try to be cool. He leaned into the "roast culture." He let his chat make fun of him, reacting with the explosive, loud-mouthed Southern charm that has become his trademark.
• The Waffle House Connection: His brand is inextricably linked to his Southern roots—Waffle House references, exaggerated eating habits, and a self-deprecating humor that resonates with anyone who has ever felt like an outsider.

From Arkansas to the World

Today, he commands an audience of millions, but he hasn't left Arkansas behind. He still streams from his home setup, proving that in the digital age, you don't need to be in Hollywood to be a star. You just need a personality big enough to fill the screen.
