I realized, as a young adult, that I wanted to work for myself. By the time I finished college, I had three businesses going. Over the last three decades, I’ve owned, managed and invested in businesses, franchises and real estate.

Along the way, I was offered the opportunity to teach Entrepreneurial Finance at my alma mater – the University of Illinois. I gladly accepted! I discovered that I had a passion for teaching and learning which led to starting BIGG Success.
