"T

Age: 30
Title: Owner
Organization: Danny the Groomer
Daniel Hernandez came to the
United States 10 years ago and
lived in Las Cruces, New Mexi-
co. Only six months after arri-
ving, his mother died.
He worked odd jobs for a
few years, and then decided
to be a dental technician. Af-
ter becoming certified at the
University of Illinois Chica-
go, he worked in that job for
three years. Next he opened a
restaurant in Little Village in
Chicago, but he had to shut
the business after only a year
because of health problems.
When he recovered, he re-
turned to what he had always
liked: dog grooming. He found
a job as a groomer at a local
shop, and while working the-
re came up with the idea of
creating a page on Facebook.
People began following his
page, he started working from
home, and when he reached
20,000 followers he quit his
job and opened his own busi-
ness. Now, two years later, he
has more than half a million
followers across all his social
media accounts and is making
a living from that and his bu-
sinesses.
He and his wife have two
children, ages 2 and 8, and
two businesses: a spa for hu-
mans and a spa for dogs. In
December Hernandez's father
died, and Hernandez knows
he would be proud of what his
son has accomplished.
