Emmanuel Hightower

Accessories – Phoenix

I have always been motivated by the fruits of success and I’ve never lacked the desire to be the best at whatever I commit myself to. I will accredit these traits to my participation in sports. Growing up, I always wanted to be a leader; I would admire such positions as pitcher, quarterback, and point guard. I strive to learn them all. Off the field, I was just as competitive. Even as a child, I would spend my spare time thinking of ways to do things faster, smarter, bigger, and better. This pattern of thought has followed me over the years and that is why I have developed a passion to reinvent the world around me. I was the kid that never accepted ‘no’ for an answer. Even as a man, I am forever determined to find possibilities amidst the assumption of inability. My name has played a major role in this. Emmanuel means ‘God is with us’ and I know this to be true. Furthermore, I believe that I can do everything with God, but fail. With that being said, my parents have been extremely influential in my life as well. Growing up, they were my primary source of support and encouragement. I could always count on them to place me in positions in which I could succeed. They instilled in me the understanding of what matters most and, because of this, I have a great appreciation
