I didn’t always have money.

I grew up in a low-income community and was constantly in and out of shelters with my mom and brothers. There were times when my mom had to make one bowl of macaroni stretch for the entire day, but no matter how difficult things became, she always found a way to put food on the table.

Those experiences shaped me. They taught me resilience, resourcefulness, and the importance of creating opportunities instead of waiting for them.

Today, I’m an entrepreneur, investor, and business owner with experience across multiple industries. I built and operated a car-rental business in New York City and continue to maintain relationships and connections within the industry, including in Atlanta and Miami.

My focus has expanded into credit and financial education through my company, I’ve also invested in areas including real estate, cryptocurrency, stocks, credit, and other business ventures. Through my books, businesses, and content, I share the knowledge and lessons I’ve gained along the way.

I share my story because I know what it feels like to start with very little. If I could overcome the circumstances that were placed in front of me, I believe you can overcome yours too.

This is more than where I came from. It’s about where I’m going—and helping others believe they can get there too.
