Penn Holderness

Penn Holderness is one-half of internet sensation The Holderness Family - known for viral parodies and skits such as XMAS Jammies, All About That Baste, and Hamilton Mask-Up. Their videos have resulted in over a billion views and 6 million followers across social media. Penn and Kim decided to write their first book, Everybody Fights: Why Not Get Better At It, after several years of just an “okay” marriage. Over the last several years, they have done the hard maintenance and the research. With the help of their marriage coach Dr. Christopher Edmonston, they break down their biggest (and in some cases, funniest) fights.

Penn was born in Durham, North Carolina, to a Presbyterian minister and a public school teacher. He went to the University of Virginia, then started a two-decade career in TV journalism. Penn loves watching sports, Science Fiction books about space, and disaster movies where they have to "assemble the best in their field." He lives in Raleigh, North Carolina with his wife, two kids, and dog Sunny.
