Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My father died as a result of an explosion at his job just 2 weeks before my 4th birthday. It took close to 30 years before a settlement was reached. Through those years, my sister and I watched my mom face challenges that proper life insurance would have handled. Seeing this firsthand and the exponential growth of GoFund Me accounts due to not having enough life insurance, I decided to take on a life mission to educate and empower my community members on insurance secrets they need to know.

How do you stay motivated?

As a father of 3, it's VERY easy to stay motivated, as I want to create a life for my children (with me present) that I never knew, one with their father present and actively guiding them in their lives... They deserve it. The world deserves who they'll be because of it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Having founded a 501(c)3 a few years ago but not having the resources to really get it into the mainstream media, I'd use the funds to grow the non-profit, where we educate consumers and employers at NO COST to make better decisions about their insurance and benefits. Ive seen people paying thousands more than necessary and others not having a clue what to do and thus doing nothing. This can't continue as it's costing our citizens Billions (if not more). Active education will change this.
