With a foundation rooted in martial arts, I've spent my life mastering the disciplines of focus, resilience, and strategic thinking. Earning the title of Grandmaster and achieving multiple high-ranking black belts in Tang Soo Do, Hapkido, and Taekwondo, along with being a certified Krav Maga instructor, I have translated these values into my business career. The principles learned on the mat – commitment, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence – have shaped my approach to entrepreneurship.

Today, my primary focus is leading two dynamic and fast-evolving brands: 76 FENCE and Scout & Molly's. At 76 FENCE, we're redefining the fencing industry by prioritizing quality, American-made materials and delivering a premium, 'White Glove' customer service experience. Scout & Molly's, our upscale women's boutique franchise, brings personalized fashion and empowering entrepreneurship to local communities across the country. These brands are more than just businesses; they represent my dedication to innovation, quality, and the success of our franchise partners.

My entrepreneurial journey spans over two decades in the franchise space, where I've been instrumental in launching and scaling multiple successful brands. I'm the CEO of NextFran and Franchiseyourbusiness.com, where I provide strategic guidance and support to aspiring franchisors and franchisees, helping them navigate the complexities of the franchise world and achieve sustainable growth.

Certified as a franchise advisor and developer, my focus remains on driving the growth and success of 76 FENCE and Scout & Molly's. By integrating proven strategies with a hands-on approach, I aim to cultivate thriving business communities and empower other entrepreneurs to turn their visions into thriving realities.

My mission extends beyond building successful companies; it’s about creating opportunities for others to achieve their dreams, inspiring growth, and shaping the future of franchise entrepreneurship.

In his neighborhood, a devoted man has been quietly touching hearts by caring for his 97-year-old neighbor. 🏠❤️

Every day, he brings in her trash bin and walks her safely back to her house, one gentle step at a time.

It’s a simple act, yet it carries so much love, patience, and generosity. A reminder that small gestures can have a big impact. Moments like these show us that kindness isn’t about grand gestures, but about showing up for one another. 💯

Neighbors who witness his care say it inspires them to look out for others in small ways, proving that one person’s actions can ripple through a whole community. 

It’s a lesson in empathy, patience, and the beauty of human connection. His dedication reminds us that age and physical limitations don’t diminish the joy of giving and receiving care. 


Stories like this show that love and compassion are timeless and contagious! 😍✨

What looks like kindness isn’t always what it seems. 

In this video, a man in a silver SUV buys a net bag of tiny birds from a street vendor dressed in pink on a busy street. He opens the window, releases them gently, and drives away believing he did something good. 

But sometimes, the truth hides behind the moment. 🕊️

In many parts of Southeast Asia and the Middle East, this “bird release” is a common scam. 


The birds are trained to return to the vendors, caught again, and resold endlessly. What feels like compassion actually fuels a cycle of suffering and exploitation. 🌍

Real kindness goes beyond appearances. It means choosing actions that truly protect animals and make a lasting difference. 

Supporting local rescue centers, sanctuaries, or verified welfare organizations ensures your compassion creates real change, not just a temporary feel-good moment. ❤️🕊️



♻️ Repost if you believe true kindness must protect and not harm.
