Executive Summary

I am an entrepreneur, business attorney, and business strategist. I started my first serious business venture around my kitchen table with a $250.00 retainer which I turned into more than a million dollars in annual revenue in roughly 30 months. I then joined forces with several partners in creating one of the largest legal conglomerates in the country, which at its apex, had annual revenues of over 80 million dollars and 20 branches. During my legal career, I've represented some of the most prestigious corporations in the world, including Office Depot, AT&T, Hilton Hotels Corporation, American Express, and Shell Oil Company.

​

I've published several books, including “This Business of Supplier Diversity,” and “The Runner,” a Christian, legal thriller. I've also written Continuing Legal Education materials for the National Business Institute. My latest eBook is an Amazon Short-reads Bestseller, entitled "God Help Me: I'm Stressed!" 

​

From the outset, I've used my influence to support purpose-centered organizations. This began with creating educational scholarships for minority students, providing legal and business internships within my firms, giving to legal entities that support the poor, and ultimately founding the Oasis Compassion Agency, with Sharon. For roughly two decades, Oasis helped hundreds of families restore their dignity by providing them with food, clothing, counseling, job training, and resources required to triumph over adversity.

My goal is to teach YOU how to create businesses and nonprofits that will give you freedom of time, money, and purpose. Three things are required to get there: your desire, a proven system, and your willingness to do the work.

If you'll provide the desire and willingness to work, I'll provide you the framework of how to get it done. Just know that freedom is possible, and there's a way to get there. If you'd like to talk about it, click the button below, and let's talk about it!
