Going into college, most people tend to already have made their minds up on what they want to do with their life or the career field they want to be in.

In this time of depression and lostness he started getting back into Gods word and that helped him to start finding his way.

He was in the nursing program in college so he took a job related to that field and then tried management at enterprise. But it wasn't until he found real estate, that he was able to satisfy that itch to find his passion. Being new to the field he has fallen in love with the process of becoming the best real estate agent he can be in the Charlotte, NC area. We talk about sports, life, and how facing these trials helped developed him into who he is today. We also briefly touch on investments and how you can diversify your portfolio at a young age.
