If this isn’t a good ole “American Dream” story then I don’t know what is. Most of us now know Nathan Apodaca, the skateboarding online sensation that didn’t just go viral. This guy blew up the internet nationwide and it changed EVERYTHING for him. If you haven’t seen the video yet, check it out.

What hits so close to home for all of here in Idaho is that Nathan Apodaca is one of us. He lives in Idaho Falls and before this video went KABOOM Nathan was living in a run down trailer that had no running water.

The video quickly hit more than 11 million views and it has WAY more than that now. People started donating money left and right to help this guy get back on his feet. Commercials have been made, merchandise sold, Ocean Spray stepped up and gave him a brand new truck, and some doctor stepped up and hooked Nathan up with $40,000 worth of veneers.

Just recently Nathan bought a home in Idaho Falls that has five bedrooms and three bathrooms. He paid $320,000 for the home and he paid for all in cash. The home will take care of himself, his fiance, his two daughters, and his stepson.

What’s the grand total of what Nathan brought in this year? As of now, Nathan says he’s brought in more than $400,000 and he’s taking advantage of that 15 minutes we all hope to get someday I say “God Bless Him”. Enjoy that new ride, your new grill, and take care of your family inside that new home.
