But his path to success dated back in the year 2001 when he bravely took a calculated risk by starting his own automobile sales company called Sterling Motorcars. This leap of faith eventually paid off when his company Sterling Motorcars became the world’s first African-American dealer of Rolls-Royce. The company also became the first African-American McLaren and Lamborghini dealer in the United States of America.
