Charlotte-Focused Audience
WE RIDE FOR
LOCAL.
Born in Eastern NC. Served in the NC National Guard and US Army. Spent 10 years inside Bank of America — the same institution that helped build this city. Then left to build his own fintech firm, scaled it, and retired from it. The founder didn't stumble into entrepreneurship — he lived it. NexLvl Charlotte exists to put hardworking, independent Charlotte entrepreneurs on the map the same way this city put him on his.
Military Service. Real Discipline.
NC National Guard. US Army veteran. The same discipline that carried the founder through service is what drives NexLvl — a zero-tolerance standard for mediocrity, and an unshakeable commitment to the people we serve.
10 Years Inside Bank of America
Bank of America didn't just build its headquarters in Charlotte — it helped shape the city's economy, culture, and ambition. The founder spent a decade inside that machine learning how finance, trust, and growth actually work.
FinTech Founder. Retired on His Terms.
After BOA, the founder launched his own fintech firm, built it up, and retired from it. He knows what it takes to start from nothing and make it work — which is exactly why he built this platform for people doing the same.
“I spent 10 years at Bank of America watching Charlotte grow from the inside. I served this country in uniform. I built a fintech company from scratch and retired from it. And I'm telling you — the most impressive entrepreneurs I've ever seen are the ones running independent businesses right here in Charlotte. They deserve a platform that fights for them as hard as they fight for their city. That's what NexLvl is.”

Geofencing Technology
YOUR BUSINESS. THEIR PHONE. RIGHT NOW.
NexLvl Charlotte uses geofencing technology to put your business directly in front of people the moment they enter your neighborhood — before they ever search Google, before they ask a friend, before your competitor gets the chance.
When a NexLvl Insider walks within range of your location, their phone lights up with your brand on their lock screen. No app required. No ad spend wasted on people outside your area.
The question isn't whether geofencing works — it's whether you'll be the business that uses it first in your category.
