I grew up in the suburbs of Columbia, South Carolina, in the late 2000s. I had a very musically influenced upbringing, which led me to become a percussionist myself.
I first became interested in business when I began studying real estate investing and entrepreneurship at the age of 20. I always knew I had a desire for higher achievement because my colleagues consistently labeled me a hard worker and recognized my approach to getting things done.
I attended the University of South Carolina Aiken for one year, studying music and English. I then returned home to pursue other endeavors and deepen my knowledge of business.
I had a brief career with the United States Air Force but was discharged during the fourth week of training with an entry-level separation due to medical history. I also worked as an Emergency Medical Technician in the 911 sector at Richland County EMS for one year.
Additionally, I obtained a Commercial Driver’s License and drove semi-trucks over the road for five months. Across all the career paths I’ve pursued, I’ve consistently noticed that sales is ubiquitous in everything we do. We are always selling ourselves in some way, shape, or form.
After extensive study of the subject, I felt confident enough to make a living from it. I began my journey in door-to-door sales at the age of 26. Still driven by my ambition and grit, I continued seeking greater opportunities.
Now, four months into my current training program, I can see how it is shaping my leadership abilities and helping me build a team. My goal is to be promoted to ownership by the end of 2026. From there, I aim to expand the campaign into the Scottsdale, Arizona market and build my own organization.
