When he was 13 he lost his mother who died from cancer. Because of that his life got harder and he didn't have much time for his interests. Later in the year of 2009 he managed to come back on the scene when he joined 1337 and started working for a few companies as System Administrator. After a short period he started a pilot project about Safety of children on internet. The project was successful in few elementary schools but didn't continue because of lack of funds and free time. At March 2010. he and his team joined on project "Click Safely" with Serbian Ministry of Telecommunications. He spent one month on the project and left because of the ministry's poor performance and commitment which he couldn't deal with. He returned to work as System Administrator and started visiting summits of ESET, Microsoft, Adobe, Hewlett Packard and others to expand his knowledge in internet communications.
