Wallo 267

CONNECTOR
Wallo267 went on to spend five years in and out of the juvenile system. By the time he reached 17 the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections identified him as inmate #DG-2670. While serving his time he realized he was in prison for being someone he really wasn’t. From that moment on he started embracing his individualism. As Wallo267 would say “I wasn’t in jail I was in Yale, I wasn’t in prison I was in Princeton, I wasn’t in the State Penn I was in Penn State”. He ran into a cell phone as his sentence was coming to an end, that cell phone helped him see that the world was bigger than the streets that once dictated his every move. At the age of 37, he walked out of prison February 18th, 2017 after serving twenty years for multiple armed robberies and firearm violations.

Will Roundtree

Entrepreneur
In 2005, Will moved to Las Vegas, Nevada from the Midwest with little money, yet big dreams. Very quickly, Will learned the importance of credit after receiving denials to lease apartments. Will's negative credit history forced him into homelessness and sleeping in my car. Fortunately, Will remained connected to his hometown support system and an important mentor while he was facing challenges in a new city. Will never forgot his mentor’s phrase, “Eventually credit will become the new dollar.” In fact, Will attribute's his determination to improve his credit to the advice he received from back home, which still fuels his passionate fire for helping people build strong credit.
