Understanding and devoted to providing technical tools and education in both rural and urban areas, he donates resources and technology to schools nationwide and speaks frequently to organizations that promote social change like the New York Urban League, Project Enterprise and others. He leads the CyberSynchs' executive team on the path of high growth, revolutionizing the world of data synchronization for virtually any digital device.

Their mission is to discover deserving individuals who continually sacrifice everything to help those in need, and ultimately encourage others to do the same. Throughout this incredible, life-changing experience, the Secret Millionaires attempt to remain undiscovered, coming face to face with extraordinary people battling the odds every day of their lives.
