After speaking to 100s of children and young adults, I realized it was time to leave the cooperate America and really start inspiring the next generation of teachers, doctors, entrepreneurs, master plumbers, actors, etc... So many young people don't realize how gifted they are and don't know what path to venture on. That's where I come in. Growing up poor on the east side of San Antonio, TX, being arrested at 17, and having a 1.25 GPA my freshman year of college, I had my fair share of tribulations. As 2020, I am a successful business owner, college graduate, and Captain in the Air Force Reserves, if I can do it, anyone can!
