"I never stop learning." — Khalil Rountree Jr.

I used to travel around with bands and sell their merchandise on tour. I wasn't really chasing my dream. I was just trying to help someone chase their own. I always thought I had more in me than just selling clothes and packing the van.

I was never in any competitive sports growing up.

About 19 is when everything started to hit me. People were going to college, some people were getting jobs, and I was living in a one-bedroom apartment with my mom, my brother, my niece, my sister, struggling to make $750 rent every month.

The ones that do support me and are cheering for me, man, I love them to death, because they could so easily be on the other end.
