For more than 30 years, entrepreneurship has been my battleground, my classroom, and my ministry.

I’m not the “typical” entrepreneur. I’ve built companies across industries that rarely intersect: finance, real estate, retail, tech, media, consulting, and more. Some bootstrapped from start-up to millions. Some scaled into full organizations employing dozens. Some survived storms; others taught me the lessons.

I have a weird combination of a love for entrepreneurship and teaching. I taught at Oglethorpe University for 8 years in Atlanta, GA. I taught and created business & economics courses. I loved my students. I taught them ownership. This taught me how to build lesson plans and curriculum that matriculates.

I eventually built two entrepreneurial training organizations from group-up while owning my businesses. They went on to training thousands for 20 years, and launch almost 250 storefronts.

They grew significantly, yet hit massive hurdles. All of what I learned I included in our philosophies. We now teach other training organizations how to replicate my success and avoid my hiccups.

My journey began in the 1990s, when I was a young Sergeant in the U.S. Army running a vending company out of multiple barracks at Fort Bragg. The entrepreneurial seed never left. For decades, I built, rebuilt, advised, negotiated, opened, expanded, and transformed businesses of every type; even consulting for some of America’s most recognizable public figures' businesses.

I used my experience in business ownership, being an employer and entrepreneurship to develop my own schools that, not only taught student entrepreneurs, but funded and incubated their projects following graduation.

The work gave me deep insight on generating high revenues in business and institution-building.

My motto: "Fix the complaints, don’t challenge them."
