LIFT Ministries is an organization that was created to help fractured individuals break free from the strongholds which bind them daily. LIFT is an acrostic that stands for Live In Freedom Today. We all have a choice to either live in our fears today, or we can live in freedom today, but we cannot have both. Too many battle with addictions, mental health issues, grief, and overwhelming amounts of pain that can be overcome if one is willing to seek out assistance from support groups of like-minded peers as well as guidance from qualified professionals who can provide insight and direction.LIFT Ministry's goal is to promote the concept that healthy minds, bodies, and spirits can be achieved through qualified instruction and dedicated efforts, and its sponsors plan to illustrate this concept by sharing insightful messages of hope and by hosting workshops to bring about paradigm shifts in traditional thinking. Greater details about our workshops can be found on the company's web page as well as its Facebook page, but in short, we're launching the company with four different options at the moment.

During my time working at Hazy Mountain, I was given the opportunity to cross train in every role available to its typical employee. I spent my early days with the company hosting, serving, and working behind the bar, but finally found my niche back in the kitchen where I started some 30+ years ago while working for Darden Restaurants. Hazy Mountain is also host to some of the most incredible wedding venues, so during my tenure with the company, I was given an opportunity to work multiple weddings as a customer facing employee as well as one who works strictly back of the house.

I currently manage a team of loan officers remotely that span from Florida up to North Carolina and over to Nashville, TN.

New locations that will be available soon to include St. Louis, Las Vegas, and possibly Orlando, FL.

Connecting exceptional individuals with exceptional organizationsLO Talent Scout was opened in March of 2020, just five days before the Corona Virus shut down the nation and was set up as a full service recruiting operation in the financial services industry. Six months later, I was offered a role as a Retail Sales Manager for Interfirst Mortgage, so I placed the company in a hold status until all of its financial commitments were taken care of. On June 30th of 2021, our office lease in Elizabethton, TN was paid in full, so the company was officially closed on July 1st of the same year.

I was honored to work in two different roles while being employed with Novastar. I began with the company as a wholesale rep selling to brokers and setting up net branches throughout the SE region of Virginia, and then ended my time there running one of the branches that I had set in place in the small town of Williamsburg. Working in the wholesale space was something new for me, and to be totally honest about it, I didn't like it at all. Pandering to brokers in hopes of picking up the crumbs that had fallen from their table was a role that I found to be demeaning at best, but I did love running my own branch and working face to face with each of the stakeholders in my circle.

Simple Solutions Home Outlet was my first attempt at running my own company and quickly became one of my biggest failures to date. I purchased the rights to sell manufactured homes from a lot in Hickory, NC and also securitized the ability to sell land home packages for multiple lenders throughout the Western region of North Carolina. During the company's infancy, we seemed to be very successful so we grew quickly, but after the 9/11 attacks, our production took a nasty fall which limited our capacity to honor our obligations to both our creditors as well as our suppliers. The company limped along throughout most of the calendar year 2002, but in essence did very little (if any) business after the end of calendar year 2001.

My time with Champion Homes was brief, yet very profitable for myself as well as the company I represented. During the first quarter of 2001, I was the #1 salesman in the nation out of 3,000+ representatives in both total sales and in gross profit dollars. Even though I was on top of the world in my role and doing extremely well as a sales professional, I chose to walk away from Champion towards the end of April in order to open my own company.

My time with Oakwood Homes was like something out of a fairy tale. I came into the company confident that I would do well, found myself on a final written warning due to a lack of production three months into my tenure, then nine months later emerged as the #2 salesman in the nation out of 2,400+ sales professionals. I won multiple company trips including a seven day cruise to the Caribbean, won multiple trophies and plaques, and even won a very nice company ring. I sold just shy of two million dollars in product and brought in close to 500k dollars in gross profit before being promoted to Branch Manager of their flagship office in Greensboro, NC.I was also honored to be asked to star in their year 2000 training videos which took its viewers from cradle to grave in their sales process. This video series was used to train the company's employees until they sold out to Clayton Homes a few years later.
