Summary
I am an ambitious entrepreneur with a passion for starting up and managing small businesses. I have started up and created 4 business LLC's before I graduated high school. I graduated high school in three years to allow myself to grow my businesses and allow me to fund the majority of my college education. I also enjoy wildlife and the outdoors. It's been my dream to attend Auburn University.
