Gavin Miles McInnes (/məˈkɪnᵻs/; born July 17, 1970) is a Canadian writer, actor, comedian, co-founder of Vice Media (which he departed in 2008), and the host of The Gavin McInnes Show on Compound Media. He is a contributor for The Rebel Media and Taki's Magazine, and was a frequent guest on television programs on Fox News and TheBlaze. The co-founder in 1994, and long-running editor (until 2008), of Vice Magazine, McInnes has been called "the Godfather of the Hipster movement" and "one of hipsterdom's primary architects".
Since leaving Vice McInnes has become increasingly known as a right-wing provocateur and media figure, while also being called a "troll". He is the co-founder of a "pro-Western fraternal association" known as the Proud Boys.
McInnes was born in Hitchin, England, to Scottish parents, James and Loraine McInnes. His family immigrated to Canada when McInnes was four. He attended Ottawa’s Earl of March Secondary School, studied English literature at Carleton University and received a BA degree at Concordia University in 1991. As a teen, McInnes played in the Ottawa punk band Anal Chinook. As an adult, McInnes immigrated to the US from Canada.
