Tell use about the first business you launched:

When I graduated from Bluffton University, I along with Jacob Hudson had already started Bluffton Online. My goal in life has always been to being an entrepreneur "a business owner" a server to the community. After I sold Bluffton Online, I decided I first needed to have an experience in the corporate world to get a better understanding of how big business works.
