HE HUSTLES

I lost alot of friends and supporters once I decided to stop playing basketball, but it was the best decision I could have made for myself and my future During the long basketball season, we went from hotel to hotel room and I would take advantage of the time to learn more about the cybersecurity industry While in school during the offseason, I won a couple contracts conducting security assessments for businesses in Toledo All this preparation in school allowed me to prepare to pursue my masters and start my business

After school, I started providing digital solutions to public safety departments at colleges and universities. These opportunities provided the funding and pathway to prepare SparkC to secure large federal training and cybersecurity contracts.

What message do you hope millennials and young entrepreneurs take away from your platform?

The message I want them to take away is start preparing for your purposes earlier in life. As I’ve gotten older and grew up with the NBA or youth sports being the focus, it blinds our young people of the other opportunities and careers out there until it's too late 1% of youth will be professional athletes but 999% can secure a high paying job in the cybersecurity industry

Ball is not life I make way more money than I ever would playing basketball CyberWarrior is a resource to engage, ignite and motivate youth to embark on high-paying cybersecurity careers once they reach professional age Introducing cybersecurity or some type of STEM component during their developmental years, ages 7 through 17 ensures our youth are proficient and prepared to compete on a global scale for over 3.5 unfilled cybersecurity jobs as of 2022 in the USA Dont limit yourself, it's a big world out there with tons of opportunities
