Who am I?

Author, Entrepreneur, & Human

Hey guys,

Welcome to my page! I am so excited that you've chosen to spend time with little ole me.

If you want to learn the "official" side of me feel free to checkout my 'About' tab, but I really want to do away with I guess the frou-frou.

I am a young black male from Chicago, and I am really driven to help change people's lives, have fun, and build my legacy.

Any of those sound like you?

I love to have fun and spend time with loved ones whether it's my mom, sister, fiancé, best friend... the list goes on.

I am a stickler for building progressive relationships. I've found that there is such a gap in the market for people and the thing is, though, so many people don't know how to build relationship! This all led to me writing my first book "Lifestyle, Culture, Love". I do believe that we end up in toxic relationships and stay in that cycle when we don't understand our WORTH. This journey of finding a proper path on how to build relationship led me to, ultimately, learn how to fall in love with myself, and after that, I could then find the person I wanted to marry.

Identifying MY motives, understanding what I want out of life and learning how to achieve those goals, and starting to form those habits to help me accomplish that lifestyle was only the beginning to a NEW beginning. All of that to say that after about a two-years time I found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.

This blog will feature different guests and inspiration for relationships and learning to build solid foundations from the start--in the hopes of being married-- that are (here's the kicker) not built from sex.

For those of you who have my latest book "Dear Rose", I am a result of a fatherless home. I have experienced firsthand the severely consequential behaviors and lasting psychological issues if this pain is not processed to a fine grade allowing each individual to move in their purpose!

You'll be able to hear more about my daddy, son talks with featured guests THIS WEEK.

Without my father, I was driven to learn to create my own money very early. I started my entrepreneurial journey with a lawn mower and great customer service skills for a 10-year-old. After receiving my payment, my mom made sure I wasn't irresponsible. By her teaching me how to save, seeing my savings account increasing at the speed that it was, I grew more and more curious about how to generate more wealth. I later realized that I had been saving even before I started my business. For some reason, I've had this innate skill of understanding the underlying concepts of personal finances, along with awesome mentors to show me the ropes, but I wanted to share all of that through a system for young, old, and everyone in between. Proactive Practice and The Pro Fun(D) Box was the birth child of my natural gift.

I'll be sharing more about personal finances even outside of proactive practice on this blog... just know you won't get everything though.

This blog is dedicated to those who are searching for community as we all struggle and fight to do the right thing for ourselves, our families, and our lineage coming after us.

So if you're dedicated to being a part of a community of people continue to tune in.
