Summary
I began my entrepreneurial journey by making door-to-door sales of hail damage repair services. I made sure to work with insurance providers to have damages covered, and soon enough, I partnered with a gutter company to handle the work I was providing. When the owner of the gutter company fell from a roof and became paralyzed, I didn't back down. Instead, I adapted and rented his equipment to continue doing the gutters myself with some hired help.
After hail season passed, I decided to switch to home remodeling. I landed contracts with major companies such as Diversity Homes, Aspire Homes, and Applewood Investments, allowing me to be responsible for some major projects. I was even able to work on historical housing and apartment complexes over the years.
Then, when COVID-19 hit and construction slowed down, I didn't let it stop me. I quickly switched gears and became a delivery service, landing a contract with Menards to deliver appliances and furniture. I'm a hard worker who's able to adapt to changing circumstances and challenges.

I prioritize my psychological fitness and well-being, and I'm proud to say that I hold records at my local high school. Taking care of oneself is crucial, and I believe in setting an example for others to follow.

Additional Information
I skipped two grades in high school and graduated at the young age of 16. Shortly after, I took charge of my life and purchased my first manufactured house, moving out on my own in the same year. As a proud parent, I homeschool my two children, Legacy and Atlas, who are seven and four years old respectively. It's important to me that my children receive the best education and care possible, so I take this responsibility very seriously
