O'Handley earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and political science from Northeastern University and a Juris Doctor from the University of Chicago Law School.[2][3]
Career
O'Handley practiced law in the Hollywood area for 6 years, specializing in entertainment law. After the 2016 United States presidential election, he started an Instagram account under the pseudonym "DC Draino" as a reference to Trump's phrase "drain the swamp". After the account started to gain traction, he quit his job as an attorney to make social media content full-time.[4] He eventually moved to South Florida, where he founded a digital media company. He has since made appearances on Tucker Carlson Tonight and spoke at the Gays for Trump 2020 event hosted by the Log Cabin Republicans, despite his content being labeled by some as anti-LGBT.[4]
He has been mentioned as a potential candidate for Florida's 15th congressional district in 2024, reportedly telling Lee County Republican Party Chairman Michael Thompson that he "has not ruled anything out" after Donald Trump called for a primary challenger to incumbent representative Laurel Lee.[5]
