Improving Tomorrow, Together Today
By shining a light on and empowering two often-overlooked groups-immigrants and cleaners-I believe we can create significant positive and lasting change!
How do I want to be remembered?
Now, I am happily established as an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and father to two adorable daughters and a little Superman.
Hi! I’m Jon. | Entrepreneur, Speaker & Author
Several years ago, I was a penniless immigrant lost and confused in the bustling streets of Baltimore. Now, I’m happily established as an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and father to two adorable daughters and a little Superman.
Some say the American dream is unreachable for an immigrant like me. I say otherwise. Was it easy? Absolutely not. Can the path be replicated? Absolutely yes.
My why?
Philanthropy takes many shapes and sizes, and for me, it’s about creating real, measurable change that lasts.
I don’t just talk about making a difference; I live it. I teach cleaners to become business owners, share strategies on my YouTube channel, invest locally to strengthen communities, and regularly donate time and resources to impactful causes. My work has earned a Minority Business Award for fostering inclusion and impact.
I wrote The Immigrant’s Companion to pay forward the lessons I’ve learned. Every story, video, and collaboration I pursue is focused on building a legacy that proves one life can touch countless others.
