- Where are you from and why did you move to Charlotte:
- I was born in Cleveland, Ohio, raised in Lake Mary, Florida, then back to Ohio for college. I moved to Charlotte for a career opportunity with my current company, QLM. While my work has taken me to many other cities, Charlotte has been home to me for the past six years.
- What are your favorite things about Charlotte:
- I love the small town feel while still being in a big city. I love anything fitness related, and Charlotte has an outstanding fitness community.
- What motivates you to give back:
- I love contributing to my community. For me helping others and giving back is the most fulfilling work I do. I think we are all meant to share the blessings that we have in this life. I grew up in a family that was always going out of their way to give back and support others, my brothers and I learned that firsthand at an early age.
That commitment to looking beyond ourselves is also part of my company’s core values. Every year, my CEO matches every donation made by our employees to charities and nonprofit organizations. It’s amazing to see individual efforts amplified.

- Fundraising goal:
- My goal is to connect people with the charities that this event promotes. Encouraging people to not only to give financially, but to get involved and make an impact in our community.
