I was born in Shelby, Mississippi in 1985. My mother was 15.
My grandmother raised us both. No mentor. No roadmap. Nobody who looked like me and said "here — this is how life works." I learned everything the hard way.
I lost a daughter named Isabella. I battled depression in silence. I studied 100+ books — breathwork, manifestation, emotional intelligence, the laws of human behavior — not because I was curious, but because I was a survivor trying to understand his own life.
"I built No Blueprint because when I was coming up, nobody told me how to do it, or a paved route I could follow — so I slowly but surely paved my own."
Today I run MSmith Solutions LLC out of One Atlantic Center in Atlanta. 1,300+ enterprise deployments. Clients including Google, Sony, and Meta. 800+ deployments as Lead Field Engineer at Indigo 2023–2025. Mentored by Harvard and MIT graduates. Built with zero inheritance — just grit and the will to figure it out.
