Cory’s journey with Harvey Alternatives was born out of personal adversity—he was overlooked by law firms despite his knowledge and drive. Rather than give up, he decided to use his gifts to help others. With the belief that he was called by God to serve through his expertise, Cory built a business that supports people in need of accessible, non-litigation legal services.

Sky’s the Limit was a turning point in his growth. Although public speaking was once a challenge for him, watching other entrepreneurs pitch gave Cory the confidence to deliver his own Friends and Family Pitch Deck with boldness. That confidence paid off: in December 2025, Cory won the Friends and Family Grant.

Through mentoring from leaders like Cameron Cox and Telly Arnold, Cory was held accountable, pushed to think bigger, and encouraged when doubts crept in. These mentors helped him refine his business model and marketing strategies, leading to his first clients, a new LLC formation, and an improved website—all of which strengthened Harvey Alternatives’ foundation.
