I come in peace

So hey my name is Aj Boyd and this is my story!

When I was 14 years old I started to post my photography to my Instagram. People actually liked my work and I started to gain a ton of followers and attention. One day I made a pair of "Galaxy Pants" and people for some reason ( I have no idea why) fell in love with them and started to ask me if I could make them a pair to buy! One of my followers recommended I started selling them on a website called Etsy.com which is an eccomerce similar to ebay but its only for handmade items! Little did I know that this small business venture would become something massivee. At 15 years old I was selling over 10 pairs a day at 40$ a pair. From when I started the business in July of 2012 to December 2013 I had grossed around 18k. 

Middle of 2013 I decided to send an email to Shark Tank and see if they would be interested in my story/business. Shocker to me they were! I had to do a ton of audition and paper work drama and managed to get just one step under from getting onto the show!
