Roundtree’s road to success has been nothing short of miraculous. In 2005, Roundtree left his hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, with a borrowed 500 dollars and headed towards the town that never sleeps, Las Vegas. Once there, Roundtree found the ruthless realities of living without a financial plan and bad credit. His applications were denied for housing, and this left Roundtree homeless and living out of his car.
With this new dilemma at hand, Roundtree was inspired to diligently educate himself on personal finance and credit. He would walk into libraries and read book after book about credit laws, standard operating procedures, regulations, credit and economics. Eventually, this led Roundtree to become a FICO certified credit consultant. In this role, Roundtree helped thousands of families successfully restore credit, purchase property, own vehicles for the first time without a co-signer, obtain credit cards and secure business credit.
