Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration comes from my faith in God and from everyday people who take what they have and build something meaningful. I’m inspired by entrepreneurs who create solutions that truly improve people’s lives. While traveling, I saw how something as basic as internet access can become stressful and unreliable. That experience pushed me to focus on building ideas that solve real problems and make life easier for people around the world.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated by remembering why I started. I’m working on ideas that can help people stay connected and move through the world with less stress. My faith keeps me grounded, and I believe when God gives you a vision, you have a responsibility to pursue it. I’m also motivated by my family and the desire to build something that changes the world. Even on difficult days, I remind myself that every step forward is part of a bigger purpose.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it into building and launching the first version of my connectivity platform, ARK. The funds would go toward development and real-world testing across travel routes like the U.S. to Ghana, where reliable internet can be difficult. My goal is to create a solution people can depend on when their primary service fails. This support would help move ARK from testing into a working product that can help travelers stay connected anywhere in the world.
