Early Life and Friendship with Rhett McLaughlin

Charles Lincoln “Link” Neal III was born in Boone Trail, North Carolina in 1978. His parents divorced when he was two years old, and his mother remarried and moved to Buies Creek, North Carolina. It was in Buies Creek where Link met Rhett McLaughlin, his future collaborator on the Rhett & Link YouTube channel. They first met on the first day of first grade at Buies Creek Elementary School where they got in trouble for writing swear words on their desks. They were punished by coloring pictures of mythical creatures and beasts, and their friendship was born.

Link and Rhett went to the same elementary, middle, and high school, Harnett Central High School, where they shot a parody of the story of Oedipus Rex and were members of a punk rock band called The Wax Paper Dogz. They also wrote a screenplay called “Gutless Wonders” and started making a film based on it. In high school, they made a blood pact to do something “Big” and “Awesome” together in the future.

After graduating from North Carolina State University with a degree in Industrial Engineering, Link worked for IBM briefly before quitting to pursue his YouTube channel with Rhett full time.
