Shane Myler grew up in a divorced houshold with his mom and four younger siblings.  The family moved quite frequently through four divorces, spending some time in a homeless shelter and foster care.

Shane dropped out of school his high school senior year.  He threw himself into his passion of tae Kwon do.

Shane opened his own martial arts school, but money was extremely tight.  Unable to afford rent, he slept on friends' couches.  

As newlyweds, Shane and his wife, Aly, worked odd jobs to support themselves.  They lived in the studio for several months with no air conditioning or heating.  They joined a local gym to have shower facilities.

In 2017, the Myler family, with Shane at the helm, created Ninja Kidz TV.  Four years later, the YouTube channel has over 12 million subscribers and 5 billion views.  They have a toy line in every U.S. Target and Walmart.

After overcoming life's obstacles, Shane proved hard work, persistence, and dedication will result in living the American dream.
