My Story

Young Beginnings: The Birth of an Entrepreneur

It all started in third grade, when I discovered the thrill of selling. Buying my friend’s drawings and reselling them opened my eyes to the world of entrepreneurship.

Learning From Parents

Lessons from Fireworks and Craft Fairs

My parents, with their fireworks stands and craft fairs, unknowingly introduced me to the art of negotiation and selling. These formative experiences instilled in me a drive for independence and a knack for business.

The Lawn Care Business

The First Leap: Starting a Lawn Care Business

From selling crafts, I moved on to starting my own lawn care business. This venture was my first taste of managing an entire business operation on my own – from home maintenance to landscaping. 

Mission in Mexico

Cultivating Faith and Resilience

Serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Mexico was a life-changing experience. Living in a foreign country, selling a belief, and strengthening my own faith were key aspects of my journey.

The Rise

From Sandwich Shop To Conglomerate

Fueled by the ambition to create and grow, my entrepreneurial journey quickly accelerated. I began building companies at an almost frenzied pace, venturing into diverse sectors like real estate, software development, hospitality, and production. This period of rapid expansion was exhilarating, yet it began to teeter on the edge of sustainability. I was stretching myself thin, and the foundation of my burgeoning empire was starting to show cracks. The next phase of my journey was about to begin, one that would test my resilience and redefine my approach to entrepreneurship.

The Fall

A Test of Resilience

The ceaseless expansion of my business ventures had created a precarious tower. It was tall, impressive, yet lacking the sturdy base necessary for long-term stability. And then it happened, a small stumble turned into a domino effect that brought everything tumbling down. Overextended and overwhelmed, I faced the sobering reality of losing it all. It was a humbling experience, but it also taught me the invaluable lesson of sustainable growth and the importance of a solid foundation. This period of struggle and reinvention set the stage for the next phase in my entrepreneurial journey: a more strategic and measured approach towards building businesses.
