Throughout my journey, the support of my Mom Beverly Chizer, Dad Celeste Chizer, siblings Crystal, Ron and Chris, sister-in-law (Tia), nephews, Allen, Patrick, and Chris Jr., (CJ) along with a host of family, and friends it has been invaluable. Their encouragement and belief in my abilities have motivated me to take risks and pursue opportunities for growth.

I recognize that taking risks can be daunting, but it’s often through these experiences that I discovered my true potential and achieved great things. It is important to weigh the potential rewards against the potential consequences and make informed decisions. With the right mindset, support system, and a willingness to embrace challenges, risks can lead to personal and professional growth.
