Mr. Victor Norman Grays Jr., Aka “Sadarh,” Chocolate Child, Black MacGyver and the _CEO, Brilliant Millionaire, was born on September 29, 1991 in Cleveland Ohio at Mt Sinai Hospital.

He grew up in Oakwood Village with his two older siblings, Sacia and Sabrel; three brother-cousins and sister-cousin.

 Victor’s mom called him, Chocolate Child; he was the youngest of the clan.  He was spoiled and escaped many “whipins” from his mama.  However, all of Vic’s siblings and cousins protected him.

Victor loved hanging out with his grandfather; playing pool, going fishing and camping. His granddad was his confidante. 

Chocolate Child was walking at six months and talking at nine months. He refused to be left behind and kept up with everyone. 

 Being the youngest, he was the last to enter school.  While his mom and dad worked, his Nana cared for him.  Victor went shopping and hung out with his Nana and his great aunt, Tammy.  They took him everywhere; dining out at all the different restaurants.  Victor was spoiled rotten to the core.

 Later, his mom moved the family to Bedford, Ohio in 2005, where he and his siblings, brother cousins and sister cousin, attended Bedford high school.

 His plan was to become the CEO of his own financial institution, only after passing up becoming a doctor and a lawyer.

Victor completed the program in nine months.  However, that was not enough for Victor.  He later decided to work for AmeriSafe and became OSHA certified; completing and earning up to 12 certifications and became an Occupational Safety Specialist.

 Victor welcomed his second daughter, Isabelle in December, 2015 with Geneva Rodriguez. 

He was searching for more in his life and relocated to Atlanta, Georgia in 2016.  He met Joe Ferrera and they became business partners in real estate rental property and Air BnB.
