After a tour in Iraq, separating from the military, an unsuccessful attempt to play in the NFL and graduating from college Ernest's entrepreneurial journey launched. During a conference Ernest was faced with a question "Who Are You?" It was during that time Ernest took a deep look inside to really define that and developed Be E.R.N.E.S.T and Ernest’s gift for presenting and training became abundantly clear as he would speak for his alma mater and other various opportunities in his area. At this time Ernest did not fully understand the business of speaking and began advocacy work with pollical action committees, local campaigns and citizen engagement with various elected officials on behalf of several organizations. Since those humble beginnings, Ernest has trained, inspired and empowered thousands of people across the country through his workshops, presentations and training programs. His ability to model expected behavior and work has touched the lives of people from all walks of life, from executives, advisor, student leaders to your everyday citizen. “My journey has only just begun. There must be a sense of urgency to address the gaps we can all intellectually debate. I am now in a position to empower others to do something about it." he notes.
