1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Fort Lauderdale, FL and raised in Birmingham, AL. I have one handsome son, daughter-in-law, and three beautiful granddaughters. The hobbies I love are travel, reading, and listening to jazz.

My past business highlights within PlanNet Marketing, which I am extremely grateful for, include being awarded PlanNet Marketing's 2018 Top New Player Award, along with being among the recipients of the Fireball and Top Seller Awards. My greatest highlight is sharing every experience with my core leaders and team.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Being a part of PlanNet Marketing has given me the opportunity to stretch and grow as a leader and has given me the support and tools needed to coach, train, and develop my leaders.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
What drives and motivates me is my desire to create a lifestyle of wealth and freedom for my family, while teaching other entrepreneurs the strategies to do the same. My heart’s desire is that we as entrepreneurs have more than enough to provide for our families so that we can give an abundance to those who are less fortunate without limits.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My pastors Dr. Michael D. and Kennetha Moore are my role models. Their examples as people of integrity, character, love for people, spiritual wisdom, and resiliency have contributed to my growth as a person, both spiritually and personally.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Passionate, Giver, Driven

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
One of my favorite quotes is by Denzel Washington, when he said, "In between goals and achievement is discipline and consistency." My word of advice to leaders is that if you desire to win in business and life you must go beyond just setting goals and writing a plan of action. YOU MUST possess daily discipline and take consistent action. You must track your success: Plan, Do, and then Review.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
Five years from now my family and I will be debt and financially free as a result of PlanNet Marketing. I will own a 1,000 unit apartment complex. I will be a philanthropist who gives greatly and creates opportunities for the homeless, young entrepreneurs, and aspiring entrepreneurs.
