I came from a middle class family and had a wonderful upbringing, however I made many mistakes as a teenager that ultimately saw me dealing drugs and addicted to heroin. This lasted nearly ten years. In and out of jail, rehab, the hospital, it never stopped. I was using needles and homeless at one point. I actually overdosed and died one day, but was resuscitated thankfully. Unfortunately, I didn't learn my lesson. Finally, I was shipped off to a year of inpatient rehab half a day away from anything I knew. It was the roughest year of my life. But I promised myself I would take it seriously, otherwise I would just be wasting a year of my life. It finally stuck. I learned many tools and methods to free myself from the pains of addiction. I was free after a decade of suffering and hurting so many of those I held close to my heart. I had a lot of repairing to do. My grandmother had passed away while I was away, and I will always use that as drive to never go back. She left me her house. After all was said and done, I had about $25k left when I got back from rehab. I started a clothing company and swiftly spent everything I had. And as swiftly as it took my money, it failed. I had $1000 left to my name. I had one idea left.I started a Lab & Chemical supply e-Commerce company in July of 2019. I ordered inventory with the last bit of money I had, and it all turned out to be terrible quality. I was able to sell about $250 worth of inventory and purchased a small amount of much better products. I finally started to gain some traction. One of my main beliefs I always stuck to: As soon as budget allows, hire an expert in an aspect of the business that is slacking. Following this belief has brought this company of mine from $0 to a multi-million dollar industry leader in 2.5 years. It also completely changed my life!Now, I spend my days focused on managing 7 established businesses, many different projects & dreams we are building from the ground up. I love building businesses. I feel as though I am a creative type of person which usually shies away from business. I was in the music industry for 10 years prior to this success. But for me, my creativity is expressed the best through building unique businesses and following unique ideas to do so. I now manage over 17 people in 5 separate teams who help me manage everything we have going on. If you'd like to keep up with all of our crazy projects and ideas shoot me a follow and if you'd like to get involved, lets talk! I am always open to meetings if they look promising.
