Coach Friday directed and assisted Armand with walking on to the highly reputable Division II football program at Fort Valley State University.

Armand earned a football scholarship and excelled both in the classroom and on the field until he suffered a horrific knee injury as the starting strong-side linebacker midway through his sophomore season.

With his odds of making it to the pros diminished, Armand switched his major from marketing to accounting as he was advised by his close friend and roommate, David Burns, who passed away in 2010 in a tragic car accident.

It was there he gained impeccable knowledge and experience on all of the financial and information technology infrastructure intricacies needed to support and sustain multi-billion dollar organizations.

Through his affiliation with Music Industry Business Management Firm, TSG Financial Management, Armand has had the privilege to work with such talents as Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, and Usher.

Whether it is bookkeeping, financial reporting, accounting recognition of complex transactions, or deciphering the tax codes, Armand is quite knowledgeable and cherishes the opportunities to be of service to the world.

Armand enjoys spending time with his family and immersing himself in global Financial Technology innovations and learning how they are shaping our future.
