About Me
I grew up in poverty, the eldest of four children raised by a determined single mother who worked tirelessly to provide for us. As the oldest, I naturally stepped into the role of protector and guide for my siblings. Those early experiences instilled in me a deep understanding of hard work and equipped me with essential traits: leadership, resilience, independence, and the survival instincts that every successful CEO needs to thrive and lead effectively.In order of importance to me, I identify as a Christian, followed by my roles as a husband, father, grandfather, real estate Investor, and author.
