My father always told me, “If you want to be free, you have to build your own thing.”
That idea stayed with me early. I grew up in the Bronx in a hardworking Caribbean household — a Jamaican father, a Guyanese mother — who taught me discipline, sacrifice, and responsibility. Those lessons shaped how I think about work, growth, and building something that lasts.
At Howard University, I was surrounded by ambitious future doctors, lawyers, and leaders who pushed me to think bigger about the kind of impact I wanted to make. I always knew I wanted to build something of my own, and that environment made that conviction unshakeable.
I entered financial services at 19 years old as an intern. What started as a career path became something deeper: a search for purpose and a commitment to helping people build with more intention.
Today, I bring thoughtful advice, strategic perspective, and a connector's mindset to the work I do, the communities I build, and the conversations I lead. My mission is to make a $1 trillion impact by helping people build wealth, think bigger, and create lasting change in their families and communities. We're already part of that journey — with more than $1 billion of impact to date.
Building With My Best Friend
With my wife, Tayler
My wife Tayler is a nurse practitioner — and honestly, one of the most important parts of how I operate.
There's something rare about getting to build with your best friend. We hold each other accountable, push each other to grow, and bring completely different strengths to the table. I carry the vision — the strategy, the business development, the big-picture thinking. Tayler brings the creativity, the warmth, and the emotional intelligence that grounds all of it. She sees things I miss. She makes our house a home and makes sure we're actually taking care of ourselves in the process.
That partnership has deepened how I think about legacy. Building wealth and building a life aren't two separate conversations. They're the same one.
We got married in July 2025, and every part of what I'm building reflects what I'm going home to.
