Brand Guarde

I created this company because I am passionate about fighting for the things that matter in life.
I started my first business with $400 and a dream of being able to provide a better life for my family and be present for them. After a couple years of hard work and dedication to that dream, we saw our first venture grow to a multiple 6 figure business that allowed me to work from home and watch our little girls grow up. This was possible largely due to the exposure and tools the Amazon platform gave our business.
​
I have also experienced the pain and frustration of seeing those dreams threatened by doing business on Amazon. Our company has battled counterfeiters and unfair blemishes to our reputation while also navigating the shifting rules and confusing seller support. As we have worked to overcome those challenges, we have gained valuable insight into the processes and strategies necessary to succeed on Amazon.  We want to offer this experience from the trenches of e-commerce to help other businesses take control on Amazon and turn this marketplace into a channel of strength.​

Co-Founder

Legacy Market

I began dabbling in e-commerce with a dream of working from home and spending more time with my family. We started out primarily selling on Amazon.com in January of 2015. In our first year, my business partner (wife) and I were focused on learning about selling products online and mastering the Amazon platform. In year 2 we began to really grow our business, and by implementing some new strategies we able to grow to almost 250k in revenue in 2016. Best of all, my dream became a reality  when I left teaching in August 2016 to focus on Legacy Market, and I have loved every minute I get to spend with my family.  We are excited to work with new partners and expand in to new markets. We are poised to make 2017 the best year ever!

Owner

Hammond High Magnet School

I have the awesome privilege of helping educate students at an accredited World IB School. I love interacting with all different types of young people and inspiring them to think about the world from a different angle. I get to challenge seniors to learn wise financial principles and develop healthy money habits so that they avoid common pitfalls and have more options for the future. My Biology class constantly investigates how and why nature works the way it does. I so enjoy seeing the process of discovery take place. My vision is to see young people gain an appreciation for continual learning so that they can reach their full potential.
