My Life
I met Alexis at a student government conference in undergrad, approaching her under the guise of “networking” while she waited in line for step show tickets. A reformed man rooted in his neighborhood met a cultured woman from the suburbs, and a brief conversation turned into a lifelong partnership. Today, I’m blessed to be building a joyful, rich, God-honoring life with her, dedicated to serving our community.
My hustle and heart come from my parents – two working-class, high-school sweethearts who do anything to provide my sister and I with the essentials of life. I’m the product of their prayers, sacrifices, and unconditional love. Freeing my family the driving force behind my pursuits. Oh, yes…we are Cowboy fans, and yes I can be proud and sad all at once… I’ll write about that later.
As a first-generation college graduate, education is the vehicle to explore life’s possibilities. After playing Division 1 football at the Air Force Academy, I earned a Master’s of Public Administration during nights and weekends. Today, I’m an MBA candidate at the Wharton School, where I was peer elected to serve as student body president alongside an amazing team of three…but no more formalized education, on to cash flow!
My entrepreneurial journey started at 11 years old, turning $20 of food money into a lawn-mowing hustle that tripled my earnings in a day. My first official job came at 23, leading logistics, HR systems, and emergency operations at Joint Base San Antonio. Later, I served as the military head of HR and Chief of Staff at Buckley Space Base. After Wharton, I’ll join Bain & Co.’s Private Equity practice while pursuing freedom through SME acquisition, building an online presence, and working in public.
