2023 Charlotte Power Player 🤯 

I was just selected as one of axioscharlotte 12 most powerful leaders in Charlotte for people that wield influence in the community and use it for good! That is both an honor and a surprise as I often tell people I’m just a guy who likes to eat, but the community is why I do this so it’s good to know I’m doing something right for the people! I’m so happy I’m blessed to serve as a vessel to connect and bring positivity to the community here. 

I started this page as a new Charlottean in 2018 and taught myself photography and videography to ensure I could properly showcase many of the amazing local restaurants and businesses that the Charlotte area has to offer that weren’t getting their due shine.  I had no idea that journey would lead to what it has now but it has been incredible to see the impact that this page is able to have. Not only has it been able to bless many  businesses, but many people have said they use this page as guide for their families and tell me how much it improved their experience living in Charlotte. 

There are so many more things I want to do for you all to keep pushing the community forward and I hope you all stick around. I appreciate all of the tremendous support, messages, and especially those that share and comment on every post so I’m not just talking to myself 😂. Also shoutout to all of you that come say hey and chat with me while I’m out and about as I’ve had some of the most meaningful conversations just from people who recognize me when I’m out. Shoutout to Axios for the recognition and looking forward to what the future holds! ✌🏾
