How I got here, who am I and where I am going.

Born in the great state of Connecticut, I was raised with learning and understanding diversity in a place not too many can understand. I worked in the town I grew up in to learn work habits and discipline I did not know I needed. My journey has been one of constant evolution, shaped by the experiences that have molded me into the person I am today.

From an early age, I learned the value of hard work and perseverance through my struggles in the retail industry. I started a job I did not want, but came to find out it was what I required. I navigated the challenges to better understand the culture of the place I worked, the people I worked with, and how others view the world we live in. In the retail world of constant inventory management, and the ever-changing landscape of consumer demands, In the retail world, you find that setbacks and obstacles are a way of life. I wavered in my commitment to excellence, because I had no idea where my future was headed. I have always strived to provide the best possible service and experience to every customer who walks through the door, making lifelong relationships along the way.

Finally, I had the chance to leave a place that shaped me, into a worldly man. With no real future in sight, I took a chance and moved.

With love in my heart and all that I knew back in CT, I moved to North Carolina with the hopes and dreams of a man with a degree, some money in his pocket, and his dog. At this time, I did know how much more growing I needed to do. I faced my fair share of trials and tribulations. From navigating economics, family, relationships, mental health and my own self-worth to overcoming depression and a breakup, each hurdle only served to strengthen my resolve and sharpen me. Through all the developed friendships, I found my creative outlet, stopped running from whom I was, and confronted the discourse I spent a lot of time running from. I found my voice again. I found the resolve that I knew was always there. The thing in me that others could see, but I could not.

I found my FOCUS.

I took on a few jobs here and there. A freelance web design job, maybe some retail to make ends meet. Then I had a conversation with a respected friend. They suggested I create a podcast. I did what most do; I googled how. I watched a podcast and the name Cathy Heller popped up, and I watched, listened and read everything she had to say. This gave me spirit; it spoke to me on an internal level. So down the rabbit hole I went to only find the one thing that had been pulling at me. Better understanding of the culture of people, educating, sharing experiences, and living life for the first time.

"We are all fighting a battle that you cannot see."

So, after this revelation, I became a dad, I got a new job, and I found a new home. However, I knew something was missing. My Family. I was fortunate to get a job that transfers, so after much soul-searching, I moved home. I knew that my child would need their new relatives and that a support system would be vital. Not only that, but I knew that with this new voice, I could become everything I'd always dreamed of. As I look to the future, I am filled with a sense of optimism and purpose about starting new business adventures. Armed with the lessons of the past and fueled by a boundless ambition, I am committed to continued growth and evolution, both personally and professionally. Guided by my passions, I am determined to leave a lasting legacy of love, compassion, and a positive impact on the world around me.
