Fogelson’s genuine nature and effortless humor have gained him 2 million followers on TikTok since he launched his account two years ago.
As a mail carrier for the United States Postal Service, he’s been skirting aggressive dogs for six years. These days, since becoming a local celebrity after realizing influencer status on social media, Fogelson also encounters eager fans pretty much everywhere he goes. While the sudden burst of energy from a random fan is a little more pleasant – and flattering – than an agitated dog, he’s still not used to the fame.
“I can’t go nowhere without people coming up to me. It’s crazy,” Fogelson tells CityBeat. “It’s cool though. I like it. Seeing the joy [people have], it’s like when you get home from work and the kids see you; it’s like that. Indescribable. It’s cool.”
