A Little About Me

Hi! I'm Chad Sommer, aka 'Thee Crazy Eye Guy.' I have over 2 million followers on TikTok and a substantial presence on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. How did I get famous? Poking my eyes out, thanks to a rare condition called Globe Subluxation – it's a wild trick that doesn't harm my eyes, as proven on the Dr. Oz show in 2020.

In 2022, I starred in Alex Deeds, Butterscotch, a short film that rocked festivals worldwide, winning awards and entertaining audiences. Hollywood, I'm coming for you with my crazy eyes!

'Rock Bottoms, Up!' isn't just a catchy phrase. Beyond the entertaining Crazy Eye Guy, I've battled addiction, which stole years, wrecked a marriage, and strained relationships. But here's the twist – I've turned my life around, remarried, and now, with my best friend, we're building an addiction-free life, eager to inspire others to do the same.

My wife's upbringing and my personal struggle with addiction allow us to shed light on its broad impact – not just on the addict but on everyone around them. 'Rock Bottoms, Up!' is more than real addiction stories; it's also about the funny and absurd moments. Let's reshape perceptions about addiction, entertain, and empower change together.

Welcome to 'Rock Bottoms, Up!' I'm thrilled to be here and I'm excited and eager to grow with you!
