He is the founder of Nuggy Entertainment, a digital marketing agency, and is well known for his ability to help clients establish online momentum.

He has amassed 50 Million followers across many platforms including Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. Wilbur has made a name for himself by sharing content that resonates with his personal interests and by extension, his viewers.[5]

    Early life and education[edit]

    Wilbur was born on 10 November 2000 in Manhattan, NY. Wilbur became obsessed with gaming when he was eight years old, and by the age of twelve, he had amassed a gaming fanbase and 30,000 YouTube subscribers. Unfortunately, Wilbur had to return to the foster care system due to his unstable living circumstances, and his channel was later hacked. As a result, Wilbur had to start from scratch.

    He completed his high school education at Erasmus High School, Brooklyn NY. Soon after graduating from high school, Wilbur devoted his time to social media along with working multiple jobs to afford rent. Later, he taught himself how to trade and invest, and he was able to create a full-time living by using social networking and investing in the Forex market.

    Career[edit]

    Wilbur started his career at an early age as a social media marketing expert. In 2012, Wilbur began going live on Facebook and garnered a new fan base, this time made up of teenagers who admired him for his personality. He began filming relationship advice videos and quickly gained a following of tens of thousands of people. During that period, Wilbur amassed over 100,000 Facebook followers and began assisting his friends in reaching new audiences.[7]

    As Facebook's popularity waned in 2015, Wilbur switched to Instagram and Snapchat, where he garnered over 120k followers in total. Unfortunately, because Wilbur was placed in the Witness Protection Program (WITSEC), he was not allowed to obtain any kind of fame since it would put him in danger, therefore his social media profiles were taken down.[8]

    After several obstacles, Wilbur became a successful social media marketing expert. Wilbur uses his existing online trust with Influencers to help others achieve success. This is one of the strengths he brings to the table, as his social connections and outreach assist his customers in achieving their goals. He is known for using social networks, media, influencers, and other media solutions to help high-profile clients establish digital brands. Wilbur has worked with celebrities, start-ups, Fortune 500 leaders, public corporations, influencers, and others to improve their social exposure and engage with their target audiences.[9]

    Wilbur is also a public speaker who frequently speaks on topics that are relevant to the country's youth. Wilbur is also a serial entrepreneur and investor who has made a career through Forex trading and social media marketing.[10]

    Personal life[edit]

    Wilbur grew up in the foster care system since he was four years old. While growing up, Wilbur went to 4 different foster homes, 3 different residential homes, a few group homes, and even the witness protection program (WITSEC).
