About

I'm 24 years old, a mix of American Indian (Lumbee) and White. I believe in business transparency plays a major factor when building trust with the public. In order for me to arrive where I'm at today, I had to go through a phase of incarceration. During this phase I fell in love with learning, I learned how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, was exposed to the benefits of playing an instrument and chess, and most importantly how live in peace with diversity of races, religious views, and cultures that differ from my own. Being a follower in an isolated incident is what landed me in jail at 18. With the help of an education, seeing the bigger picture of life is why the only time I would return to any prison would be to persuade those individuals to learn everything they can and that with discipline and hard work a second chance to success will come. Do not hesitate to ask if you would like to know more.
