After the dissolution of Coattails, Boreing co-founded the independent film studio Declaration Entertainment with Bill Whittle.

Career

Early life

Born in Slaton, Texas, Boreing started his career at a local regional theatre, the Garza, as a writer and producer. In 2002, Boreing met future writing partner Joel David Moore, a friend of a friend.^[2] Boreing moved to Los Angeles in the mid-2000s to work as a film producer and screenwriter. His first job in Hollywood was with Zachary Levi, a friend from Lubbock, and Eric McCormack for a television pilot with Big Cattle Productions.^[3]

In June 2006, Boreing joined Kurt Schemper, Joel David Moore, and Zachary Levi to form Coattails Entertainment, a film production company. He produced and co-wrote the company's first feature film, Spiral,^[3] with Moore who also directed alongside Adam Green.^[2]

That same year, he produced the comedy film Etienne!^[4]

2010-present

In 2013, Boreing and Ben Shapiro founded the conservative website TruthRevolt, which criticized U.S. media and was funded by the anti-Islam foundation David Horowitz Freedom Center. TruthRevolt is now defunct.^[1]

In 2015 Boreing and Shapiro founded The Daily Wire and began producing the first few episodes of The Ben Shapiro Show podcast from Boreing's pool house. Boreing, who serves as co-CEO, is jokingly referred to as the "god-king" of The Daily Wire by some staff and fans.^[1]

Boreing has been a contributor behind the scenes for PragerU, which produces conservative internet videos. According to PragerU co-founder Allen Estrin, Boreing "came up with the site's signature visual style after a photographer came after them with a fair-use claim; their solution was to use illustrations instead."^[1]

Boreing served as Executive Director of Friends of Abe, a low-profile networking organization for Hollywood conservatives founded by Gary Sinise. During his tenure as executive director, Boreing refused to give the Internal Revenue Service access to the section of the organization's website that would identify its members saying such access was not required by federal law.^[5]

In November 2021, Bentkey Services, the company for which Boreing serves as the chief executive officer, filed a lawsuit challenging the President Joe Biden OSHA vaccine mandate in federal court, on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The Supreme Court blocked the policy in a 6-3 ruling in January 2022.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Boreing has capitalized on the backlash against businesses perceived as "woke" by launching conservative alternatives. After Harry's razors pulled its Daily Wire advertisements due to hate speech in 2021, Boreing launched an "I Hate Harry's" campaign and released his own subscription brand of razors, Jeremy’s Razors.^[9]^[10] The quality of the razors was criticized, with customers complaining of blades that dulled quickly.^[11] As a protest against Hershey's inclusion of a transgender woman in an advertisement for its limited edition "HER for SHE" chocolate bars in honor of International Women's Day, Boreing launched Jeremy's Chocolates in May 2023.^[12]^[13]

In March 2024, Boreing fired Candace Owens from the Daily Wire after Owens made multiple antisemitic remarks. In the aftermath of Owens' departure, Boreing participated in an online BlazeTV audio show with Nick Fuentes, who defended Owens using the phrase "Christ is King." Despite Boreing having previously used foul language to condemn Fuentes; Boreing told Fuentes that he was "one of the most talented people out there."^[14]^[15]
