Tell us a little bit about your backstory and how you got this all up and running. Yeah, so like many, I came here as a refugee. My parents landed in New York with five suitcases. I saw the upbringing of what they had to go through to raise me and my family. I wanted to give back to my community.
So that's kind of how I got into business. Started with building websites. You know, I've had many failed ventures, proudly.
