I grew up in a modest two-parent household in Chicago, raised with the belief that a good education and steady job would lead to success.

I graduated high school at 16 and attended college, but rising tuition and financial strain forced me to make tough decisions.

Juggling multiple jobs, I couldn’t keep up and ultimately joined the U.S. Navy.A few years later, I became a single parent to a beautiful daughter.

Though the military provided stability, I missed crucial moments in her life due to deployments. After six years, I married my husband, Stacey, a divorced father of four children, also Active Duty Navy, born and raised in Ruston, Louisiana.

He very much understood the challenges of military life, but our schedules often kept us apart. The birth of our second child, a son, was another wake-up call. We found ourselves missing his milestones as well, and knew something needed to change.

Throughout our military careers and a total of 8 children later, we had moments of clarity, realizing we were working hard but not being compensated for our true worth.

We explored entrepreneurial ideas like starting a laundromat and dabbling in real estate, but struggled to raise the necessary capital. Our frustration grew when we both tried taking on part-time jobs, only to sacrifice more time away from our children for little reward.

Finally, my husband and I discovered a business opportunity that allowed us to earn extra income with minimal hours, working from home.

This decision gave us the flexibility to spend more time with our family, and the realization that we could build a better future for ourselves and our children.

Our goal now is to reshape the traditional path we once believed in.We want to teach our children—and others—that success comes from recognizing and seizing opportunities, not just following the conventional "school-job" route.

After 42+ years of joint service in the military and missing invaluable time with our loved ones, we are committed to helping people achieve financial freedom and avoid the sacrifices we had to make. MLM works, and we are living proof that it’s possible to balance family, freedom, and financial success.
