I\u2019m a &#8220;Yankee&#8221; transplant, having moved south of the Mason-Dixon line to attend Clemson University. My wife, who is half-Japanese, was born and raised in a rural North Carolina town so small even the locals barely know it\u2019s name. Now, we\u2019re raising our three children just a stone\u2019s throw from where she grew up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Work Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve had a diverse work history, from sweeping parking lots, mopping floors, and taking out the trash at convenience stores, to making technical drawings for an aerospace engineering firm. I\u2019ve worked as a high school computer science teacher and a software developer, all while earning an associate degree and a master&#8217;s degree in Computer Science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a father who drove trucks and a grandfather who was a private contractor, I\u2019ve always enjoyed working with my hands and have a deep respect for those who do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 30 years of hard work, frugal living, saving, and investing, I\u2019ve finally realized my lifelong dream of owning and operating my own business. I\u2019m fortunate to have a wife who fully supports my decision to take this leap and invest our life savings in this new venture. Every day, I pray this isn&#8217;t a foolhardy decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who\u2019s Involved in the Business<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I take personal responsibility for every aspect of my business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hobbies &amp; Interests<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve built model airplanes, learned MIG welding, done drywall and carpentry, and I enjoy 3D printing and programming motion controllers. I also have a passion for stoic poetry, including these lines that resonate deeply with me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To live as gently as I can; To be no matter where, a man;<br>To take what comes of good or ill, and cling to faith and honor still;<br>To do my best, and let that stand the record of my brain and hand;<br>And then, should failure come to me, still work and hope for victory;<\/em><br><em>To have no secret place wherein I stoop unseen to shame or sin&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Accomplishments Worth Sharing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I hold three college degrees, have several published research papers, and I am listed as the inventor on one patent. I&#8217;ve completed internships at NASA Langley Research Center and Berkeley National Labs (home to 16 Nobel laureates and the world\u2019s first cyclotron).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though I wouldn\u2019t call myself exceptionally smart, persistence and self-belief have allowed me to achieve a few things I\u2019m proud of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Above all, I am most proud of being the husband to a woman far more intelligent and generous than I. She always puts others first, but with a savviness that ensures her efforts go to the most deserving causes. Under her guidance, our three children have grown into individuals who amaze and fill me with pride every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why I Chose N-Hance and My Goals<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve always believed in the franchise model. For franchise owners, the established, proven framework greatly reduces the inherent risks of starting a business. The profit incentive motivates both employees and owners to work harder, enhancing the customer experience. Meanwhile, franchise corporations benefit from capital investment and vested interest for rapid expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reflecting on the successes and failures of my life, I realized I needed a structured plan to follow. That\u2019s why I chose to invest in a franchise with a history of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted hands-on work, like my grandfather had. I also sought a business resilient to changing weather, seasons, and economic conditions. Most importantly, it had to be something I could feel good about selling\u2014if I wouldn\u2019t buy it, I wasn\u2019t interested in offering it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After months of research, I selected N-Hance. Looking at my own kitchen, I knew I\u2019d be willing to pay for their services. The company\u2019s motto, &#8220;Do the same when nobody\u2019s watching,&#8221; aligns with my personal ethos, and the business has demonstrated solid financial performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"578\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-1024x578.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-1024x578.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-768x433.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-1536x866.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/dog-2048x1155.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-1024x592.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-1024x592.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-300x174.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-768x444.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-1536x888.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/team-2048x1185.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1141\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nhance.com\/wp-content\/themes\/nhance2022\/content-images\/2024\/10\/PXL_20241001_150614486.MP_.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Personal &amp; Family Background Though I lived in Indiana, Texas, Colorado, and Illinois before the age of 9, I spent most of my childhood about 35 miles west of Chicago.
