Welcome to my world! I’m a proud New Jersey native, now soaking up the sun in Florida, with a story of resilience, redemption, and relentless pursuit of personal growth.

Welcome to my world! I’m a proud New Jersey native, now soaking up the sun in Florida, with a story of resilience, redemption, and relentless pursuit of personal growth. 

From the humble beginnings of being raised by an incredible single mother after facing the harsh blow of losing my father at a tender age, my childhood taught me about strength and perseverance. My passion for football offered a glimmer of hope and a promising future, but fate had other plans; an injury snatched away my dreams of a thriving sports career.

Nevertheless, life had more lessons in store for me. I embraced academia, starting at Florida A&M University and, with unwavering determination, completed my collegiate journey at the University of South Florida, earning a bachelor’s degree in health science.

I am candid about my past—a repossessed car, harrowing payday loans, gambling, maxed-out credit cards, and the elusive hamster wheel of living paycheck to paycheck. Together with my girlfriend at the time, now my beloved wife, we looked in the mirror; recognizing our role as both the problem and the solution and started on a path to steer our life in the right direction.

As a life coach, a financial coach, and a personal development mentor, I am here to accompany you on this pivotal journey. I am committed to guiding you on your expedition toward self-discovery, economic freedom, and a life lived to its maximum potential. Your successes become our shared victories, and every misstep, a collective learning curve.

Grateful beyond words for your support, I extend an invitation: if these insights resonate with you or could serve someone you know, please pass the torch of knowledge. Together, let’s move towards a higher calling of prosperity and well-being, with the empowering message that the power to change, to succeed, to thrive—is, has always been, and will always be—Up2Me

With unwavering commitment to responsibility and accountability, we carved a path from the brambles of financial disarray to the open fields of fiscal prosperity. Today, our family basks in the fruits of our endeavors: homeownership, quadrupled income, and the entrepreneurial spirit that spurred the inception of two businesses in 2023, with the exciting anticipation of a new franchise in 2024.

Up2Me was born from my desire to steer others along this transformative odyssey toward personal growth and financial independence. It’s not just a platform; it’s a call for actionable mindset shifts, financial literacy, and fundamental life skills. Our growing community is rooted in accountability, mutual support, and driven by inspiration, uplifting every member towards their goals.
