Who or what is your inspiration in business?

Ryan and TK are my business inspiration because of how they built a powerful, authentic community through The Gathering Spot. They showed that success comes from creating meaningful connections, not just transactions. Their work motivates me to build a business that connects companies with real communities, fostering trust, collaboration, and long-term impact.

How do you stay motivated?

I’ve served in the Army since I was 18, building discipline, resilience, and a strong sense of purpose. I stay motivated by setting goals and pushing myself to improve every day. I’ve also had the responsibility of leading Soldiers in a combat environment, making critical decisions under pressure while ensuring the safety, cohesion, and success of my team.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Champion 6 Solutions will use the $25,000 to establish our headquarters, creating a central hub for operations, collaboration, and community engagement. This space will support team growth, client services, and strategic planning, allowing us to scale effectively while building strong connections and delivering impactful solutions.
