Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My late brother Abner has been the driving force behind everything I’ve accomplished so far. Without his inspiration, AutoProNow wouldn’t exist. It was his influence that pushed me to take the steps needed to turn this vision into reality. He is the “why” behind everything I do.

How do you stay motivated?

I remember the vision my brother and I shared long before this became a reality. It started with just the two of us, turning wrenches on his project car. Today, we’ve grown into something far greater than those humble beginnings. Grief has been a powerful motivator, igniting a drive within me that I never knew existed. This company isn’t just about honoring a vision of what was or could’ve been. It’s about delivering real results and turning dreams into action.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’ll use the $25K for tech development and marketing to enhance AutoProNow’s platform for mobile mechanics. While building a unique platform is important, its success depends on feedback from users and vendors. Our focus is on creating a tool that’s user-friendly, reliable, and simple, ensuring it meets the needs of our community. This funding will help us refine the platform, grow our reach, and deliver the best possible experience for everyone who believes in what we do.
