He is now heading towards a bigger competition.

“I noticed that even when he was really young, he was doing the most complicated things. So I focused on him because I knew that was his passion and I was watching him build all these really complicated things,” Jaali’s mother Ashley Jefferson told Channel 2’s Brittany Tenenbaum.

You can probably find him at the Lego Discovery Center in Atlanta building awesome Lego models and figurines.

“It’s literally his biggest passion, besides animals and wolves. Legos are something he’s always loved,” Jefferson said.

The recent Lego Discovery Center competition was very close, but Jaali beat out many other incredible builders.

“I usually like to build dragons because dragons are my favorite animals,” Jaali said.

He submitted the basic sea dragon model to the competition and won.

“I won this trophy,” Jaali said. “What else?” his mother asked. “This badge,” he replied. “And you got a T-shirt,” Jefferson added.

Jaali will now move on to compete for the title of North American Mini Master Model Builder.

He will have to build something that represents Georgia or Atlanta, all out of Lego bricks.

“He’s so happy. I’m so proud of him,” Jefferson said.

Jaali has a YouTube channel called JLBuilding which shows him building Lego creations.
