About Rickey Wheeler

After high school I had no path towards higher education without loads of debt so I set out on my own path. I used my mind and hard work to achieve everything I set out to accomplish. I opened my first business at 25 years old and by 35 had 3 successful businesses. 2 of which are still in operation to this day albeit with different owners now. I eventually aged out of those industries and have moved on to the next phase of my life. I'm self motivated and hyper focused. My main skill is that I know how to learn and master any skill I need.
