"I’m thankful that as a 23 year old that I had the nerve to take on such a commitment after only two years in business. Twenty-one years later, I am still ecstatic that as a college senior I started Trendsetters and for God’s direction that led me down a path that has afforded me the opportunity to connect with so many great clients and team members who have now become like family."
