After finally graduating high school, Bart realized that he needed to find a way to learn self discipline in order get his life straight. He was an only child and wanted to make his parents proud, so he enlisted in the Marines. After serving his time in the military, he was able to pursue a college education and got straight A's during his last couple of years there. While he was in college, he started making funny videos on YouTube as a way to make his friends laugh. What he didn't know was that these series of YouTube videos would turn him into an entrepreneur running several different revenue streams.
