I'm not gonna help you climb the ladder, I'm busy climbing mine.

About Me

Where do I begin? Moved back to Augusta in 2003 from Atlanta…..and I remember thinking that it was the end of my life, since the previous five years of my life was filled with the best times I had ever had. Although I had only spent five years of my life living in Atlanta….I cherish those years so much, because everything I experienced during those years…has had a significant impact in making me the person that I am today.Since moving to Augusta in 2003, I have kept myself pretty occupied. I tricked two of my college friends (Kevin Suh and Russell Fiveash) into moving back to Augusta with me. To this day, I’m not sure why they took the bait…but almost 4 years later, we’re all still here. In about 20 years, they’ll probably hate me for it. Anyways, we opened the first Smoothie King in Augusta on December 6th, 2003…..followed by purchasing a bar & grill in Augusta known as the Limelite Café on August 12, 2005. What’s next? I’m not too sure…but at our current rate…..I am hoping for business #3 to begin before the end of 2007. My motto? Work hard now…play later. In other words, you play now while I work…and then when you realize that you have to work…I’ll be done…and then I can play. Or maybe I win the lottery, and we all play together….but I wouldn’t bet on it.Sigh....I miss you!body { background-color:FFFFFF; background-image:url('http://www.profilestyling.com/images/l ayouts/0003.jpg'); background-attachment: fixed; backgrounWhere do I begin?
