My Story

In order to grow from any situation, you must first admit your wrongs, learn from your mistakes, and be willing to grow to better yourself. These are the exact steps I took for myself. My life is far from perfect, and I'm not ashamed to talk about my past.

 

Growing up, I had a strong foundation of support from every woman figure in my life, whether that was my mother, both grandmothers, and even my great-grandmother. The issue was my dad was in and out of my life, fulfilling it with broken promises. Also, to include that every male figure that was in my life was in and out of jail. I had no male figure to look up to or speak with growing up in a house full of women. Eventually, this led to my dropping out of high school and shifting in and out of my mother and grandmother's house. I would eventually get my GED, but soon after, I surrounded myself with low-minded people, which led to my first arrest as a young adult.

 

Mentally, my mind was screwed! 

​

I was always being told by the wrong male figures that "this world is not for a black man, that you will never survive or succeed in it unless you hustle illegal activities." That's what I truly believed after witnessing it every day in my environment as I grew up. I did become a product of my environment, so I hustled the illegal way. A breaking point in my life was when I was working at a job, and the male associates I would talk with every day, who now I can call true friends, kept telling me what I'm going to do with my life. Work this job forever. They were always telling me I needed to go to college and pursue a degree. That's exactly what I did. As I was shifting through my life changes for the better, I was still connected to the streets, which were still influencing me in a bad way. As I completed my associate degree, I eventually dropped out of undergrad school because I felt I had reached my goal.

 

At this time, I decided the street life was better, and I became a full-time criminal. I became envincible at what I was doing, making an insane amount of money for my young age. Eventually, legal trouble caught up with me. I was arrested. I then decided to change my life for the better. It was 2 a.m., and I was in my room thinking about my open case. At that moment, I decided it was time for me to get a job. I put in only one application, which was The Ritz Carlton. Later that morning, around 11 a.m., I got a call from them to come in for an interview. I was astonished; I couldn't believe it. I went in for the interview. The manager of the department I was interviewing for was a black man who just so happened to have gone to the same high school I did. I knew right then that God had my best interest. This was my first time seeing a successful black man in a suit, which I thought didn't exist. This was my inspiration and motivation; I needed to learn, grow, and concur within Corporate America, and I did.

 

I have led manager roles for my department for some of the biggest and most luxury companies in the US, including The Ritz Carlton, Troon Golf, and Sea Island, just to name a few. Not only have I triumphed through Corporate America, I have also self-taught myself financial literacy, building my personal and business credit. This has led me to grow and build a multimillion-dollar real estate portfolio. Also, build an investment diversity portfolio, including OTR trucking, Airbnb, and much more. With all this being said, What's Your Excuse? Anything is possible if you surround yourself with right-minded people and put your mind to the challenge.

 

My goal is to inspire, help, challenge, motivate, and guide those who are seeking help. I might not be the perfect fit for everyone, but if you believe you are,
