Oppuous started off as a question, an idea, a thought, a wish, and ultimately a movement. Too many times we’re told “you can’t do this”, “you’ll never make it”, or “that’s dumb”, etc. Oppuous believes that everyone should have an opportunity to reach their dreams and everyone has value. As such, Oppuous does its best to give back to the community by employing Veterans, the homeless, single parents, and the generally disenfranchised. We give back to the community because WE ARE THE COMMUNITY. I want to build a better world for my son and OUR WORLD. For too long capitalism has taken everything and given nothing.

I became an entrepreneur in part due to my humble beginnings as a minority growing up in a military home. I went through the traditional means of putting myself through college with student loans, odd jobs, and late nights studying. I was successful in any position I took and “climbed the corporate ladder.” In 2013, I became a father and realized on the day I held my son in my arms; that my life was no longer my own and everything I did had to be for him. While I made many incredible connections, learned so much, became a public speaker, interviewed by magazines, and gained invaluable experience in the Tech space; I yearned for more. I became an entrepreneur to build generational wealth for my son, invest in myself and my community, and follow my passion. The Pasion was that I can do good while doing great, we can create something larger than ourselves, we can create opportunities for each and every person on this earth; because after all: An opportunity for you, is an opportunity for us.”​Join Oppuous in our movement.Highly driven, results-oriented, and high-revenue-producing professional with 7+ years’ sales and marketing experience and a passion for driving business objectives through understanding, maintaining, and cultivating relationships.
