!VISION!
A PERSONAL STATEMENT
Integrity • Growth • A Better Future of Work
Throughout my career, I’ve seen workplaces where favoritism, nepotism, and toxic behavior overshadow real talent. I’ve watched capable people — myself included — be overlooked while less qualified individuals advanced through politics instead of performance.

I’ve participated in those environments too, and I’m committed to moving beyond them.

When I first added this concept to my portfolio, I titled it “My Michigan Electric Vehicles.” It felt wrong — like I was claiming something that should belong to a community, not just to me. I corrected it that evening, and I kept the old link as a reminder of where I started and how much I’ve grown.

These experiences didn’t discourage me. They motivated me to imagine something better.

They revealed a clear gap in the modern workforce: the need for environments built on transparency, merit, and integrity — places where people can grow, support one another, and be recognized for their true contributions.

This project is my response to that gap.

THE CORE IDEA
A Workforce Model Built on Merit, Recovery, and Community
Michigan Electric Vehicles is more than a product line — it is a blueprint for a new kind of workforce. This initiative brings together students, skilled professionals, and individuals in recovery into a unified, supportive environment built on:

Merit‑based advancement

Accountability and mutual respect

Education and mentorship

Drug‑free, recovery‑friendly employment

Collaborative, team‑driven growth

This model integrates workforce training, recovery support, and transparent leadership into one cohesive system.

WORKFORCE VISION
1. Merit‑First Workforce Model
Clear performance metrics

Transparent promotion structures

Leadership earned through responsibility and impact

2. Recovery‑Friendly Employment
Safe, supportive, drug‑free workplaces

Structured paths for individuals rebuilding their lives

Peer mentorship and accountability partners

3. Educational Partnerships
Collaborations with colleges and trade schools

Internships, apprenticeships, and real‑world training

Programs designed for students and individuals in recovery

4. Business Collaborations
Partnerships with organizations committed to ethical leadership

Apprenticeship‑to‑placement pipelines

Opportunities for companies to invest in a reliable, motivated workforce

5. A Culture of Integrity and Transparency
Decisions and processes everyone can see and trust

Leadership that leads by example

Clear expectations and accountability at every level

WHY THIS MATTERS
The modern workforce is struggling. Turnover is high. Morale is low. Too many talented people are discouraged by environments that reward politics instead of performance.

At the same time, individuals in recovery face significant barriers when re‑entering the workforce — despite being highly motivated and capable.

By combining merit‑based opportunity, education, recovery support, and ethical leadership, this initiative can:

Improve retention

Strengthen companies with motivated workers

Foster healthier workplace cultures

Transform lives through meaningful employment

WHAT I’M LOOKING FOR
I’m seeking collaboration and insight from:

Students passionate about ethical leadership

Professionals with experience navigating workplace challenges

Business owners interested in community‑driven workforce development

Individuals in recovery or advocates who understand supportive employment

Anyone committed to building a healthier, more transparent workplace culture

This concept is in its early stages — but with the right team and shared commitment, it can grow into something powerful and transformative.

FINAL NOTE
This project is rooted in personal experience, resilience, and a desire to create something better — not just for myself, but for everyone who has ever felt overlooked or underestimated.

If this vision resonates with you, I welcome your ideas, critiques, and partnership.

Together, we can build a workforce model that rewards integrity, supports recovery, and helps people grow into the best versions of themselves.
