I was born in Saint Louis, Missouri and joined the United States Marine Corps on June 2, 2014, and completed recruit training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego. By December 2015, I was an Aviation Ordnance Technician in Yuma, Arizona, also serving as a Fitness Coordinator and Instructor Trainer.
I graduated from Bryan University in Los Angeles in September 2018 with a degree in Advanced Physical Training and Exercise Science and also earned certifications as a Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Instructor.
From October 2018 to August 2022, I served as a Drill Instructor in Parris Island, South Carolina. After medically retiring, I became a District Manager for Bun Holdings Food Group in Alabama, handling operations, management, and business development.
Now, I’ve built an independent firm of over which has worked with over 500 clients and counting, collectively managing millions of dollars of debts, insurances, investments, taxes, trusts, real estate, and other assets. My current goal is to build a $5 Million Business that is able to support a $1.2M Military Mental Health Treatment Program across the nation, amongst two other non-profit organizations, that I will personally fund to show how much I believe in the power of entrepreneurship.
About The Success Blueprint
The Success Blueprint is the content and storytelling engine of my company, ReforgedHQ.
Its roots began in 2018, when I launched my first mental health podcast focused on emotional clarity, purpose, and healing. Those early conversations laid the foundation for what would evolve into The Success Blueprint—a fully integrated blog, podcast, and short-form media platform.
It includes:
‣ A weekly blog covering mindset, finance, and strategic leadership
‣ A podcast featuring solo episodes and conversations around building a life of clarity, income, and long-term freedom
‣ Newsletter and short-form content repurposed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and vision-driven creators
This platform exists to remind people that success isn’t just about what you earn—it’s about who you become in the process.
