Shariff Rodriguez studied criminal justice at John Jay college in the pursuit of a career in law. Shortly thereafter, he realized that the pursuit was more of a path of suggestion than one of desire. After studying Psychology at SUNY New Paltz, Shariff moved into both the traditional  and digital marketing sector. Currently, Shariff works in the New York healthcare field assisting with business development.
Giselle Rodriguez grew up studying dance and completed a degree in Psychology at Purchase College. She subsequently pursued her masters degree in early childhood education at Lehman College in the Bronx, N.Y. Presently, Giselle  teaches at  a SUNY child care center.
While working within their careers they knew that they wanted more control, and options within their lifestyle. They aspire to use their story to impact all walks of life, and help guide others to develop a successful business mindset.
Shariff and Giselle’s love story began as high school classmates and they recently celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary. Shariff and Giselle take their roles as doting aunt and cool uncle as a blessing and responsibility. They enjoy traveling, hiking and other sports activities. Both are business mentors to other aspiring young entrepreneurs.
