I always enjoyed doing art-related things regardless of what they were. When I was in high school, I was in AP studio art classes. Hyner grew up in West Babylon, Long Island, and said he "was always interested in artsy stuff. That Tuesday was incredibly hectic, he recalled he was called during work, and he had to get to New York City to get a coronavirus test and get back to get ready for the production. He had to be in Stamford, Conn., where the program is filmed, at 6 a.m. So the "Forged in Fire" folks kept him on a standby list in case someone, say, got sick or tested positive for COVID-19 and had to drop out at the last minute.Īnd this is how it happened: Hyner got the call from "Forged in Fire" six months ago at 10 a.m. The problem then was Hyner was still in school and nearing graduation he didn't have available dates he could commit to. The casting person made a casting video she forwarded to the producers, who decided to have Hyner on the series. Hyner eventually went through the interview process for the show, which included a casting person looking at his application and then conducting phone and Skype interviews with him. He graduated in January 2020 and started working at EB. Hyner started applying to be on "Forged in Fire" two or three years ago, when he was a student at SUNY Maritime College in New York City. I also learned I can make a knife in five hours - which is a very hard thing to do, might I add." "My competitors were absolutely amazing competitors. But he did say he enjoyed filming it a lot and would do it again "in a heartbeat." Like all contestants on these types of TV series, Hyner couldn't say what the challenges were on "Forged in Fire" or how far he made it in the competition. "You've got to make changes on the fly and overcome and adapt," he said. We were not allowed any paper or any lists." I knew what I needed to do, but I'm one of those people who needs to look at a list of things and kind of cross out - I've got to do that, then I've got to do this. The first round of the show, I was running around like a chicken with my head cut off. Everybody who has ever been on the show will absolutely say that, for sure. He said filming "Forged in Fire" "was very nerve-racking at first, as it is for a lot of people. As for his job, Hyner works as an engineer at Electric Boat, in a department that deals with moving submarine structures between Groton, Virginia, and Quonset Point, R.I.
