INTRO

I made my first dollar on the internet by managing creators back in 2015. At the time, most people still didn’t believe being an influencer was a sustainable career.

Fast forward to today, I have helped start companies like ScaleLab, DREAMCULTURE & Same.new and continue to manage some of the largest creators across the globe.
