Full bio

Well were to begin? I have been around the block and I am still pretty young with a long road ahead of me. You can probably call me serial entrepreneur. I started back at 9 yrs when my father and I started doing magic shows. I continued to perform magic in front of various audiences with a regular appearnace on a cable TV show. I have also owned a pool cleaning service company for 2 years in high school and also another one when I lived in Myrtle Beach. 

I have accomplished a lot, the most proud moment is when I acheived a dream of being a career firefighter. I worked 3 years as a career firefighter/emt in Myrlte Beach, SC. My firefighting career started however when I was 15 as an Explorer. I led 2 explorer programs at 2 different fire departments and even helped to start one of them. I was able to attend the Michigan State Fire Academy my Jr year of high school and was a certified Firefighter by 17 years old. I also took my EMT class between my Jr and Sr year of High School.

 My resume also includes working at Home Depot as a sales associate, Repoing houses (before this housing crisis), and also worked at a private marina in South Carolina. Oh and I can't forget that I worked in Flint, Mi on an ambulance for a couple of years.

Currently I am the President of a college student start up company. I decided to go back to school to get my Bachelors in Business and got involved in a project attempting to commercialize a new hospital mattress. We have turned it into a company and we are learning as we go on what all is involved in developing a medical device. The 4 of us are doing this and still in school full time.
