How did you get into what you do right now? Please tell us more about your journey.
I was born on December 11th, 1993, in the city of Pomona, California, to immigrant parents. While I grew up in a family of 5 total brothers and sister, I managed to help provide for them by cutting my school career short. And, ultimately dropping out at the young age of 17 years old to help out my parents. Later on, in 2018 began to work for a very reputable online auto filter company where I was head of online operations, sales, and marketing. I left this company in early 2020 to pursue YouTube and my dream of growing my brand online to a business that I can provide for my family.
Who are your role models?

What inspires you?
My hard-working parents inspire me.
