Frustrated with relying on others or awkwardly attempting to shave it himself, he decided to create his own neck razor, leading to the successful launch of The Scruffie in April 2020. The product gained significant attention, being featured on platforms such as Business Insider, Cheddar, Yahoo's In The Know, and Barstool Sports, and even raising over $5,000 on Kickstarter.
