Where I am now is a direct result of the MBA for Executives Program. I had a great career in corporate America with no intention of leaving it. But, while completing my MBA, I caught the entrepreneurial bug. My success is a direct result of my time at UNC Kenan-Flagler, and helping others reach their entrepreneurial goals is my way of paying it forward.
Greenfire: Creating sustainable communities
When I started Greenfire, I wanted to create a socially responsible business that would allow me make money while improving my community. My goal was to buy abandoned buildings and restore them to create a vibrant and diverse place for people to live, work, play and invest in their community. I completed the business plan for Greenfire Development just before joining the Weekend MBA Program. By the time I finished the Program, Greenfire had acquired six buildings in downtown Durham and completed its first $3 million redevelopment project.

Instead, I saw earning an MBA as an investment in myself; I took responsibility for the long-term payback. I attribute my success to making a conscious effort to apply what I was learning in the Program to my job.
