I grew up believing I was worthless. When you hear that every day from the people closest to you, that shapes how you see yourself and the world. I had no direction, and that belief led me into addiction.

.

By 17, I was broke, homeless and convinced that life had already decided my story. But then at rock bottom, with nothing to my name, I met a man who had almost nothing. Yet, he lived with deep gratitude and unshakeable faith.

And he believed in me when I couldn’t believe in myself. That moment changed everything. It was the first time I saw what God’s grace looked like. It planted a seed that would shape the rest of my life. Years later, after building and exiting multiple

companies, I realized what that man had known all along:

Wealth means nothing without impact.

The more I gave, the more God gave back: not just in business, but in purpose.

Today, I pay that forward in everything I do.

Every business I grow, every property I invest in, every community, cause or person I touch is a chance to pay it forward. Because when you lead with faith and impact, profit always takes care of itself.
