The M Made Me HUSTLE.

Father, business owner/entrepreneur, and U of M Alum, this Memphis transplant may hail from Little Rock but his passion for Memphis is so fierce that he once was Pouncer, the U of M mascot. We talk to Terez about his drive, what the city of Memphis means to him and we learn about how close he was to becoming to a reality tv star. 

In his own words:

Memphis groomed me and showed me what brotherhood, leadership, and passion for something is all about. I think at one point my ambition outgrew the city so I moved away but my pockets were empty so I moved back. My contacts and work here made room for me so I planted roots. Not to mention we get a good mix of all 4 seasons. Lol

Favorite Memphis memory:

The way the city came alive during our trip to the final four in 2008. I felt like all of us were one race, and gave each other a true feeling of love and care during that time. Everyone just wanted to be a part of history and cherish memories with those they cared for the most.
