The founder of Digital World University did not follow a traditional academic path. After leaving school in the ninth grade, he later attempted to enroll at Utah Valley University but was unable to attend due to the lack of a formal high school education.
Instead, he followed a different path.
By listening to inspiration and building companies from the ground up, he went on to help create thousands of jobs and build technology platforms used by organizations around the world.
