I started my business journey at 19 with just $1,500 and a drive to succeed. From a small handyman service, I expanded into home improvement, hiring employees and growing rapidly. By my late 20s, I owned a thriving restoration company, working with major insurance firms and generating over $10 million in revenue. When the 2010 housing crash hit, I faced financial setbacks, forcing me to pivot. I transitioned into government contracting, eventually building a multi-division company specializing in infrastructure projects. Now, at 48, with nearly 30 years of experience, my mission is to guide young entrepreneurs, helping them navigate challenges and build lasting success.
