An entrepreneur since the age of 19, my career has spanned the restaurant industry, real estate sales and investment, financial services, the mortgage industry, health and fitness, small business online marketing and network marketing.
The Year My Life Turned Around (Part 1)
In 2000, I found myself dead broke, busted and disgusted in every way in my life after making some major mistakes. (Those who get to know me, get the full story).
Anyway, my grandmother welcomed me into her home and I lived on her couch for 1yr (my mom and great uncle already lived there and that was all she had). With two duffel bags and no car, I made a decision to start as an independent contractor (No Leads/No Salary) in the mortgage industry.
Short Summary: I went on to a 6 Figure income in less than 3 years, on to manage and trained hundreds of loan officers with at least 40 of them going on to 6 figure incomes or more. I then co-owned a mortgage company from 2005-2008 until we decided to our doors in 08′ during the market collapse.

Current Summary: I’m one of the co-founders of Yokel Local Internet Marketing (started in 2011) – a fast growing small business internet marketing agency based in Las Vegas, NV. We focus primarily on helping local small-medium sized business owners build an effective online marketing/sales system with their website, social media and mobile platforms. We’ve produced some amazing success stories for our clients so far. We’re poised to impact thousands of small business owners all across the US in the next 10 years and do our part in helping this economy turn around for business owners.
I’ve also been extremely fortunate to have also enjoyed success in the home based business/network marketing industry over the last few years. I’ve lead others through my “keep it real” motivational style of speaking and leadership. I am NOT currently building a team now. (But, let’s say something may be brewing for the second half of 2012!) 
Lastly, I’m a sports fanatic. I LOVE the Lakers, Dodgers and Rams and Golf, Golf Golf (did I say Golf). I love to travel, everything health and fitness, personal development and being inspired, great food (The Food Network) and quiet time. I’m a native of Las Vegas, NV where I still reside and have 3 beautiful children of my own and am in a wonderful relationship with my love Ashley Wood, who has a 2 beautiful children whom I lovingly call my step daughter and step son.
