  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    All my family has been entrepreneurs; therefore, I have surrounded myself with business owners and I truly admire their hustle and discipline! During my teenage year I seen my dad's flooring company grow, grow too fast it had to close down. My WHY has always been to find the reasons why and help other business owners not make the same mistake and succeed!
