As a child, I had dreams of becoming a lawyer. It may seem cliché but being able to truly help others while at the same time making my family proud always seemed appealing to me.
I wrestled in the individual state championship tournament in high school.
I like to think that my parents have always given me the best advice, but when I was a Junior at East Carolina I had a friend who was a few years older than me and an auditor at the time with PWC. I remember talking with him about my goals as I was trying to figure out whether I should be an accountant or go to law school after I graduated. He looked at me and said, “man I have no idea, but trust in God, and he will allow you to make calculated decisions.” My buddy told me something my parents have always stressed, which is to “trust in God.”
