We had the good fortune of connecting with Demetrius Purvis II and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Demetrius, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Motivation, Consistency, and Hard Work has been the most important factor of my success. With the help of my parents motivating me, I overcame challenges by staying focused, motivated and working hard..

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well, I started my own business and published my own children’s book at the age of 12. I think taking on that entrepreneurial task gives me a unique perspective. Having to handle school and sports while also working on developing a great product wasn’t easy, but that challenge helped me grow as a person.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I have a passion for football so my best friend or family visiting the area. I would take them to the World of Coca-Cola , Chick-Fil-A College Football Hall of Fame or purchase a suite at the Falcons football game, so they could experience the game, entertainment and food.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Shoutout to my father, Demetrius Purvis, and my mother, Calnetra Purvis, for always believing in me and supporting me. Thank you to Georgia Elite Sports Academy for starting a program In Henry County that inspired me to develop a passion for football.
