\n\nAll of my life I've dreamed big. As a born and raised New Yorker, it was tough for me not to pick up on the hustlers spirit that filled the air of these streets. I caught the entrepreneurial bug at the age of 12 when I opened a restaurant on my front porch with my neighbor where we would sell our parents uncooked groceries -- having no overhead costs was amazing!

As a troubled youth in academia, the only thing I had going for myself was my athletic abilities to be a multi sport athlete and physical build to supplement the skill set.
\n\nIt sure didn't help that
\n\nmy parents divorced
\n\nwhile I was in the
\n\n6th grade.
\n\nI think it's safe to
\n\nsay majority of
\n\nchildren that play
\n\nsports have dreams of
\n\nbeing a professional
\n\nplayer -- that was the
\n\ncase for me at least. When
\n\ntapping into the gifts I've
\n\nbeen blessed with and worked
\n\nfor, I was certain that was my
\n\npath. Then, at 17 years old, I lost my dream. Everything I worked for and everything I ever dreamed of... gone -- just like that. No clue where to turn and no clue what to do. It was then when I found myself in some trouble with the law here and there.

Regardless of those troubles, I ended up aligning myself with some individuals who saw a potential in me. At the time, that potential was popularity and being able to pull a crowd to social venues throughout NY. I'll never forget I promoted my "18th birthday" (which was really my 17th), didn't show up to the club and made $277. At that moment I knew I was on to something. For the next 7 years I would create a business out of my personal brand -- working with the multi award winning artists and personalities such as 50 Cent, Fetty Wap, Ja Rule, Fat Joe, The Real Housewives cast, and more!
\n\nTo say life was all peaches and cream at this time would be a lie. During that 7 year period of operating my brand as its own business, I faced some challenging struggles -- I watched my mother battle cancer, I failed out of community college because I though I didn't need it, had a heart break or two, and you know, LIFE!

Due to his positive influence on me as my mentor, he helped me realize that my journey was just beginning yet again. I too, started to take my personal brand to the next level by speaking publicly throughout the nation for the past year and a half while putting out different forms of content to inspire, uplift and empower any individual that comes across it.
\n\n
\n\nAnd, that brings me to here. My goal: positively impact the lives of one billion individuals through different forms of content. Still dreaming big because our dreams matter. It's something that we should never compromise or lose sight of. True sustainable success stems from fulfillment and nothing would bring more fulfillment to me than being a part of helping you build or work towards something that will outlive you. #LETSLEAVEALEGACY

(CUNY QCC) and B.B.A. (CUNY York). It was while attending York College when a revelation hit me -- my calling was to serve yet, I was living my life quite the opposite way. My sole focus was currency but after this revelation it became legacy. This revelation propelled me in to the next journey of my life. And, to start, I would become President of my Alma maters Entrepreneurship Club -- coordinating events that would create a thriving entrepreneurial community. To continue leaving my legacy, I would bring home multiple prizes -- most notably a first place finish in a startup competition that was spread across 24 institutions in NY.
\n\nIt didn't stop there. I had the honor and privilege to meet Daymond John of ABC's Emmy Award winning show, Shark Tank, and Founder of FUBU on campus. We briefly discussed business and life for roughly five minutes, which is when I told him I would be working for him. It took me just two months to turn that five minute conversation into a position within his organization. For the past two and a half years I have been developing Daymond's personal brand through different content initiatives such as digital media, books, podcasts, and such.
