Empowering Innovation, Scaling Brands

At 16 years old, while most of my friends were focused on high school sports and weekend hangouts, I was hustling—selling cell phones on eBay and discovering the excitement of building something of my own. That early spark lit the fire for a journey that has been anything but ordinary.

By the time I was in high school and college, I was already balancing multiple ventures. I launched a landscaping company and later built a printing company called 2Graphic, which would eventually evolve into what is now Amplify Marketing. Each step taught me something new about business, leadership, and the importance of resilience.

At the same time, another unexpected opportunity opened up for me—I modeled and acted for world-renowned brands like Abercrombie & Fitch, Mercedes-Benz, and even had the honor of working under Tyler Perry Studios. Those experiences showed me the power of branding and storytelling, and how much impact the right image and message can make.

But life isn’t always a highlight reel. In my mid-20s, I faced one of the most difficult seasons of my life when I lost my mentor—my uncle. He wasn’t just family; he was the person who encouraged, guided, and believed in me through every idea and business I chased. Losing him shook me to my core and sent me spiraling emotionally and mentally. For a while, I lost my drive, my focus, and even my belief in myself.

It was his words that eventually brought me back: “One day at a time, bud.” Those simple but powerful words reminded me that success doesn’t happen overnight, and healing doesn’t either. I took them to heart, rebuilt my mindset, and started to understand how crucial mental and emotional health is—not just for life, but for business too.

With that renewed perspective, I co-founded Hangry’s Grill with my best friend, building it from the ground up into a local staple. That venture gave me a fresh perspective on leadership, teamwork, and community, and when the time came, I sold my share to him so I could fully pour myself into Amplify Marketing.

Amplify was born not just to help businesses grow, but to create something bigger—to empower entrepreneurs, amplify their voices, and help them design a life and business that aligns with their dreams and values. I’ve seen firsthand that when you care for your mental, emotional, and personal wellbeing, your professional life thrives too. That belief is at the heart of everything I do at Amplify.

Today, Amplify Marketing is more than a company—it’s a mission. My goal is to help entrepreneurs and business owners not only scale their reach and revenue, but also find joy, purpose, and balance in the process. Because true success isn’t just about numbers; it’s about building a life you’re proud of and leaving an impact that lasts.

I’ve always believed in being fully present where my feet are planted, and I’ll continue to live by that as I grow Amplify and support other entrepreneurs on their journey. My mission is simple: to amplify businesses, empower people, and inspire others to keep going—one day at a time.
