I am a Business Management graduate and entrepreneur seeking admission to LSU Shreveport's MBA online program in General Business studies. I believe I would be an asset to the class; I have ownership experience, grit, and tenacity. For over a decade I've run my own business in the hospitality, sport fishing, and tourism industries on the Gulf Coast. I put myself through college for my BS degree while rising at 5am to run inshore charter trips, manage a business, raise twin 13-year-old boys as a single dad, and volunteer as a coach with their sports teams.
