My Story: From Prison Cell to Financial Freedom

Born in Timmonsville, South Carolina, I was raised by my maternal grandmother in Brooklyn, New York. In 1988, I entered the United States Army and served for three years. After being discharged under honorable conditions, I found myself back on the streets of Brooklyn during the height of the crack cocaine epidemic. Like many inner-city youths, I became involved in distributing illicit drugs and was soon sentenced to 120 months inside federal prison.

I served the full 10 years—time that should have been reduced to 8 years and 8 months with good behavior. But prison forces you to embrace the monster inside you just to survive, and in doing so, I lost all my good time. I completed my full sentence, followed by 8 years of probation.

When I was finally released, I requested relocation to Las Vegas, and the government obliged. I moved in with my grandmother, who had always been my anchor. She helped keep me grounded as I adjusted to a new life outside the prison walls. My first job was at a 7-Eleven, where I was eventually promoted to manager. I worked as a public bus stop cleaner, then at Walmart, and later secured an apprenticeship with a pipe-fitting company. But deep down, I knew I wanted more.

My first major goal was to move out of my grandmother’s house and build something for myself. I saved every penny until I had enough for my own apartment. But at the last moment, I made a bold decision—I walked away from the apartment and instead put my money down on a one-bedroom, one-bath mobile home.

That mobile home changed everything. I rented it out and moved into a larger one. The rental income gave me extra cash flow, which I saved until I had enough for a down payment on a house. Before I knew it, I had purchased my first home. I rented out the second mobile home, then leveraged my equity and rental income to buy another property. Within a year, I had multiple streams of income—from rent and home equity—slowly but surely securing my financial freedom.

I made mistakes along the way. I struggled, I learned, and I adjusted. But what took me years to figure out, I can now teach you to achieve in a fraction of the time. The path to financial freedom isn’t easy, but it is simple when you follow the right steps. My journey from prison to prosperity is proof that no matter where you start, you can build wealth, stability, and a future you control. Let me show you how.
