Twelve years ago, I trembled under the lights of the auditorium reciting a poem about taking the Road Less Traveled. Little did I know that was the first step down that road. Ultimately, this led to the creation of my own business which quickly became a company. Putting myself out into the unknown, networking, and meeting other great talented individuals I realized that I could create opportunities for others. As the whole became greater than the sum of the parts. I quickly realized the two-way street of value that is shared between myself, those I am educating into the business, and other professionals I have met along the way. Together seeking to create a community where we all rise together.When two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by, that has made all the difference.
