and basketball expertise, and for that matter, he was considered
to be a rising star according to his coach, Charles Gillespie. He
was one of the greatest athletic players of all time in junior

dreams of becoming a carpenter. He was taught by his eldest
brother, Wayne Hayes. Some time, at the age of 14, it was
during the summer that he wanted to work for a guy by the
name of Scott Gray. After working many years with Mr. Gray,
he decided he would work for Robert Manos. He also worked
for Roy Hackett and Josh Rich some time in 2019. He decided
he wanted to start his own business. He was so happy to
become his own boss. He had big hopes and dreams. To him,
his dreams were finally about to become true.
