My life has been whole and my experience has been vast. I grew up in a family business that my father built

from the ground up. He had me in the business doing various tasks from an early age. Upon graduating high school in Fairburn, GA I went directly to a military college in Dahlonega, GA. I spent a year at North Georgia then left to go active in the US Army. There I spent 3 years, 2 at Ft. Benning, Ga with the 75th Ranger Regiment and a final year in Anchorage, AK with 1/501 Parachute Infantry Regiment. Honorable Discharge then back to Atlanta and the family business.

My father is a serial entrepreneur and I followed his stellar example. I managed and operated all aspects of

our numerous ventures. Everything from arcade rooms, pool halls, a very sizable vending route, convenience,

gas, and liquor stores to nightclubs, concert venue, racetrack, a landscape maintenance group, and internet cafés, I have worked and ran them all. I’ve made and lost lots of money, sleep, and employees.

As business grew so did ambitions and aspirations. In 2008 I became the National Secretary for Allied Veterans of the World a 501c(19) veterans non-profit. For around 7 years we did great work. We earned our money not through donations but by operating internet cafés in Florida. The organization netted around $330 million dollars over 7 years and donated upwards of $50 million. In order to sustain the business we became very active in the legislative process. I became a registered lobbyist to work towards the legislation needed.

We made many political friends and some very powerful enemies. Those powerful foes would show us their political might and basically destroyed the lives of many good people. I personally lost millions. Others much more. Many lost jobs, health, families, and reputations were destroyed with slanderous lies. However bad it has been on US all this was a fantastic opportunity and learning experience that has made myself and my family grow through the adversity and we are in a much better place now.

So now here I am, I kneel before you in hopes that you can take my vast experience and toolkit of life’s lessons and let me serve your company and help it soar.
