Three exits as a founder. A stack of faith-first apps I built and coded myself. Six years of Army Airborne discipline up front, founder's instinct underneath, and Proverbs 13:22 holding the whole thing together.

The Story
From moving weight
From moving weight
to moving freight.
I moved weight the enemy's way once, pounds at a time. Then I gave my life to God and started moving it the right way: truckloads of brick, lumber, and furniture. His way blessed me more than the hustle ever did. This is the road.
The first shutdown
It started with Starburst.
My first business was in elementary school: I bought Starburst in bulk and sold it by the pack at a markup. Booming, until the principal called my mom and shut it down. My first taste of building something people actually wanted, and the first time the government infringed on my enterprise. I was hooked.

The first legit dollar
Candy machines and
double fulls.
In college I ran a candy and vending machine business, my first real, legal company. I was also coaching tumbling, and my students would train, then go ask their parents for money to spend on my candy. Two hustles that fed each other. Watch me throw a roundoff whip to double full →

Chasing fast cash · easy exit
Moving pounds, connected
to a Mexican cartel.
By college I was moving weight the wrong way, pounds at a time. Good at it. Headed to disaster fast. I tell this part because the turn doesn't mean anything without it.
[ add weed.jpg ]The old life
Off the rails
Flunked college.
Felt like a failure.
The legit hustles could not outrun the way I was living. The bottom was coming.
[ add math-f.jpg ]Failed math
↳ Rock bottom
I left it all behind.
I laid the fast cash on the altar to follow God. I walked away from the cartel money, the friends, the team, all of it, and went broke on purpose. For a year I earned $2 an hour plus tips at Olive Garden, just listening to His voice. I picked my old Canon T3i Rebel back up and started telling stories again.
[ add cash-lbs.jpg ]Left on the altar
↳ The turn · the golden decision
I followed God.
I followed the still small voice amongst the chaos. I turned to Christ, encountered Him for the first time, and started really hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit directing my life. This was the one decision that changed everything. I traded the hustle for a calling and never looked back.
Business school
God told me to finish
what I started.
Then God told me to finish what I started. I went back and graduated from the University of North Texas, G. Brint Ryan College of Business, and learned to build on a foundation that actually holds.

Airborne
Six years. 19 jumps.
U.S. Army Airborne.
Six years in the United States Army as an Airborne Infantry paratrooper, 19 jumps out of perfectly good airplanes. It taught me the thing that still runs everything I build: nothing real happens alone. You trust the training, you trust the team, you keep the discipline when it's hard, and you go. Airborne, all the way.
Manufacturing
Automation, before
AI got big.
Right after business school I worked as a machine operator inside an 80% automated Target distribution center in Denton, Texas, run by Witron. I spent long shifts deep in the freezer, clearing faults on the cranes and the automation line to keep throughput at maximum. I climbed 100-foot cranes to fix the smallest things, like a strip of plastic peeling off a box of your favorite yogurt that was tripping the sensors and stopping the entire line. Standing in those racks in 2016 and 2017, learning automation and AI before the world caught on, planted the heart for manufacturing, machines, and AI I still carry today. It is why I am rolling up machine shops and helping investors buy them through Kingdom Broker now.
Guerrilla marketing
HotelPerks &
BarPerks.
Around the same time I became one of Lyft's top Ambassadors, paid $20 for every new rider I signed up. I printed thousands of cards with my own codes, HotelPerks and BarPerks, and seeded them across hotels, bars, and sports venues. It earned me almost $100K a year as a 1099, and taught me guerrilla marketing and the power of platforms like Lyft and Uber.

SaaS sales
Top biz dev,
hooked on software.
At Spireon I ran business development selling GPS tracking and rich data intelligence as a SaaS platform. I became a top performer and fell in love with sales and software. Working a huge sales floor beside a huge engineering team, talking shop with the engineers, is what first lit me up about technology companies. Coding came next.

Woz U
I learned to code.
I studied at Woz U, the coding school founded by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak, and picked up the language of builders. Bethel School of Technology trained me on the supernatural ways of royalty and how to tap into the algorithm of Heaven for solutions with code. Now I turn Vision into assets and I code with Christ!
Freight
My first multi-million
dollar book of business.
I had been jacked and saw the bad side of what could have ended up like Johnny Depp in the movie Blow. Instead I gave the exact same skill set, sales, marketing, and connecting people, over to Christ.
I built a freight book of business from a single Wichita, Kansas phone line and started moving a different kind of weight: brick, lumber, furniture, steel, real things for real companies.
I broke records and ranked in the top 9 brokers out of 300.
The right way paid better than the wrong way ever did.
$40,932
Top single-month profit · 10-15% margins · May 2019
That is roughly $300,000 to $400,000 of freight invoices moved in a single month.
Real estate
The Art of the Deal.
In between, I closed around 20 real estate deals and learned to find value, structure terms, and build wealth from the ground up. I sat with some of the top impact-driven real estate investors in the country, who shared all their secrets, and I curated what I learned into a book so others could walk the same path: Kingdom Real Estate Secrets.
The build
Now I build.
I find an industry, cut the friction, and build the thing that should have existed all along. That means code and technology. It also means real machines and real steel, because I am rolling up oilfield and aerospace machine shops into businesses built to last. See what I've shipped →

Redemption.
My wife and I have been married 13 years, and together we are raising 7 world-changer children. We build our businesses and our life by design, full of life and creativity.
The full circle: I used to do crazy flips and stunts in college, competing nationwide. Now I have taught my daughter Sapphire how to stunt, and she's a champion at 8. Same hands, brand new purpose.
Doing it God's way blessed me more than the enemy's way ever could.
How I'm Wired
How I'm wired
Same brain, different outputs. I value businesses and I write the code that sells them, and I'd rather show you the thing than talk about the thing.
A1
Wired to ship
I don't theorize. I build it, put it in the market, and fix it live. Shipped beats perfect.
A2
Wired for the field
Six years as a U.S. Army Airborne Infantry paratrooper. I default to discipline, speed, and a plan that survives first contact.
A3
Wired full-stack
I can value a $20M business and code the app that takes it to market. The deal side and the build side are the same instinct.
A4
Wired for legacy
Everything I build is meant to outlast me, for my family and the families I serve. Stewardship, not scoreboard.

Creativity is
Creativity is
a connection.
When we carry the mind of Christ and stay connected to the Creator of everything, creativity comes alive. The technologies, the innovations, the films, the worlds. That is where they come from. The other road is just following darkness, and I have walked that one too.
"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us."
Ephesians 3:20
"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
Romans 12:2
The Track Record

Before the tech,
I moved freight.
I built a freight & shipping brokerage from a single phone line. These are the shippers I moved for: building products, steel, timber, and furniture.

The Void

The award didn't
fill the void.
In 2022 I hit my first million in revenue with Kingdom Warriors and earned the award to prove it. It was cool. It still did not make me happy. That is when it finally clicked: only Jesus can fill the void we spend our whole lives chasing.

Family First
Jesus. Family.
Jesus. Family.
Then business.
I am married to Felicia and we are raising seven kids, and I have never been happier or more at peace. The point of the exits and the apps was never a bigger number. It is a trust fund for each child, a wedding paid for, and businesses that outlive me. Jesus first, family second, business third. That order is the whole secret.
To glorify Christ and serve 10,000 families in ten years.
PROV 13:22 · "A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children."
