I am graduate of The Citadel where I received my degree in Business Administration with a minor in Leadership Studies and a concentration in Professional Sales and Entrepreneurship. I am working to incorporate what I have learned into a successful career in the hemp industry. I founded and established my business South Carolina Hemp Growers Association LLC, to be the hemp brokering agency in South Carolina to create demand for raw materials. I am working across the state to unite supporters in a collaborative effort to bring the hemp industry to South Carolina. I have experience in in organizational leadership, logistics & operations and interpersonal communication skills, stemming from my many roles as a rank holder at The Citadel. I understand the importance of beginning at the bottom and earning your way to the top. When I was working for my last employer, Prices BBQ, I began as a dish washer. Through hard work and a never ending desire to succeed I worked my way up to managing the entire restaurant.I helped to found the Eta Alpha chapter of Pi Sigma Epsilon at The Citadel, making us the first chapter founded in South Carolina along with the first chapter with a military affiliation in the history of the organization.I find working and establishing relationships with people to be extremely rewarding and I am always seeking ways to learn and better my understanding of my surroundings.
