I was born in a small town in southern West Virginia, deep in the backwoods of Appalachia. We were poor, and after my dad left, things got even harder.

After college, my experience in optics led to several grad school offers, including MIT. I chose Virginia Tech, closer to home, so I could help my family. I earned an advanced engineering degree and landed a well-paying job right after graduation. But I didn\u2019t stop there\u2014I spent my free time learning new skills, from digital marketing to finance. This curiosity and drive to be well-rounded helped me quickly move up the ranks, eventually managing a $100M business unit. I was earning a solid income, but I wanted more, so I saved up and bought my first business. That decision set me on the path to private equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to today, and I\u2019m doing better than I ever imagined, making around $2.5M a year with over $12M in assets. Yet, I still live in a modest house in southwestern Virginia, drive an old Jeep, and keep my wealth under wraps. My focus is on helping my family and giving back. Success is possible if you\u2019re willing to put in the hard work, but it\u2019s important to stay grounded along the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
