My knowledge and experience comes from my college education, but mostly from real world experience in planning, starting, and running several successful small businesses.

I hold the following degrees:

AA in Business
BA in Personal Finance 
BA in Entrepreneurship

I have been an entrepreneur since I was 5 years old.
When I was 5 to about 10 years old I would make arts and crafts and go around to my neighbors houses and sell them.
From 10 to 18 years old I had a landscaping company, with 2 other employees, where I made substantially more money then friends of mine that were working at grocery stores, and other common teenage jobs.

As an adult I also started and ran for about 7 years a business consulting company where I would help people think of and start small businesses. Everything from their business plan, to marketing, and launching.

My most successful business that I ran after the Coast Guard, was a cleaning company. I owned and ran it for about 10 years. I had 5 employees, and we provided commercial and residential cleaning. I decided to close the business down during COVID, because I lost most of my clients, and at the same time I wanted a change in my life, a little bit after that I started working for this amazing company, Outschool and am really enjoying teaching kids about all the things I have learned throughout my life

Right now, I am currently in the planning and development stage of starting a real life wilderness survival school, where kids and their families can come stay on some land for a number of days while I teaching how to survive in the forest. It is going to take a lot of time, and money, but I am truly excited to work on a project I have wanted to do for over 20 years.
