But after his friend shared a breakdancing CD with him, he got hooked—and was thrilled to find a way to express himself through dance. He later became a professional dancer and started teaching kids to dance, making a 6-figure income and living the life of his dreams. However, after a back injury forced him to stop dancing, his friend introduced him to the world of Instagram advertising.

As a result, he is now a monetization strategist helping people grow and scale their businesses.
