The Leadership Council - Emerging Leaders in Dayton

I am a veteran, former public servant, and business professional dedicated to fostering financial empowerment, small business growth, and community progress. Through roles supporting entrepreneurship and local development, I earned trust and respect, which I deeply regret betraying through poor choices. These decisions led to serious legal consequences and caused significant harm to my community, my family, and those who believed in me. I take full responsibility and am committed to making amends through transparent, consistent, and meaningful actions.

My journey of accountability began with honest reflection and a commitment to personal growth. I have engaged in professional counseling to address my shortcomings and completed ethics training to rebuild my commitment to integrity. These steps reflect my belief that lifelong education is a cornerstone of personal and community transformation. I am currently pursuing professional development in business strategy and nonprofit management, with a focus on creating economic opportunities for underserved populations. This learning fuels my mission to serve others and promote entrepreneurship by acquisition, empowering individuals to build sustainable businesses through strategic planning and ethical execution.

Guided by my mantra (Nothing to Hide, Nothing to Prove, Nothing to Fear, Nothing to Lose), I approach this journey with transparency, humility, and resilience. These words inspire me to act authentically and prioritize impact over recognition. I'm moving forward, focused on quiet, behind-the-scenes contributions that uplift residents and businesses, ensuring my actions align with my values and obligations.

Currently, I am pursuing specific, high-impact steps to rebuild trust and contribute to my community:

• Empowering 100 Business Owners: I am committed to mentoring 100 entrepreneurs through pro bono consulting, partnering with local business programs. By offering guidance on ethical business practices, funding strategies, and entrepreneurship by acquisition, I aim to help build resilient, community-focused enterprises.

• Completing 100 Hours of Community Service: I am dedicating 100 hours to volunteering with local nonprofits, focusing on administrative tasks like organizing resource drives, streamlining operations, or assisting with grant applications to contribute meaningfully without seeking public recognition.

• Promoting Ethical Practices: I am developing free workshops on ethical decision-making for small business owners, delivered through community centers or virtual platforms. Informed by my own lessons, these sessions aim to foster integrity in the business community.

These efforts are sustainable and focused on community needs. I aim to make a tangible impact while respecting community sensitivities. My past does not define my future, but it informs my resolve to do better. Guided by lifelong learning and a commitment to service, I am dedicated to rebuilding trust through consistent, humble actions.

I welcome respectful dialogue and collaboration on community initiatives. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive future through integrity, service, and opportunity.
