After entering a new, accelerated, dual-credit high school, Cody used his scarce free time to expand by hiring and mentoring peers older and younger than himself. When COVID shook up the world, Cody helped his family’s small businesses shift focus by liquidating $970,000 in wide-ranging assets. Cody completed mentorships and training with several attorneys to sharpen his business, legal, and negotiation acumen along with achieving a 99.86% in his business law course. This experience informs his handling of contractors and trade workers in his interior design practice and makes it possible to keep customers safe and secure throughout their projects.
