Our CEO, Keith L. Harper, has shared his inspiring #DefiantOriginStory, reflecting on resilience, mentorship, and the values instilled by his father. Keith’s journey from Cape May, NJ to founding Above & Beyond Talent Acquisition, Inc. is a testament to perseverance and the power of creating opportunities for others. We are proud to have such a dedicated leader committed to excellence. Check out his story and join us in celebrating the incredible people who shape our paths. #DefiantOriginStory #Inspiration #Leadership #Diversity #Inclusion #Excellence
When Tara Binstein Sammartino reached out about Bryan Peña, CCWP inspiring #DefiantOriginStory, I immediately said yes! I'm grateful to Tara for the nomination and to Bryan, for launching this initiative. Reflecting on my journey, I am reminded of the power of resilience and the incredible people who have influenced my path. My story is deeply intertwined with the values I learned from my father, ERNEST HARPER. My dad grew up in the deep South in Mississippi, working the farm at dawn, attending a one-room schoolhouse, and enduring Jim Crow segregation laws. Through all of this, he persevered and raised me and my siblings with a relentless work ethic. His legacy as a high school principal for decades, guiding thousands of students, has been a constant source of inspiration. Although born in Philadelphia, my journey began in Cape May, NJ. There, my father taught me the value of hard work through demanding daily tasks. These experiences, combined with the discipline and resilience I gained as a US Army ROTC Cadet, shaped my pursuit of excellence. I earned my undergraduate degree at Hampton University and later a Master’s from Columbia University. Facing initial job search challenges, I worked as a door-to-door salesman in Southern Virginia, honing my work ethic. Transitioning into the business world, I started as an IT Recruiter and moved into staffing sales, discovering a passion for helping people secure their dream jobs. This passion led to the founding Above & Beyond Talent Acquisition, Inc. with a mission to close the diversity gap in leadership. A few years ago, I met two gentlemen at a BBQ in NY. We bonded over our love for golf, and I was invited to visit them in South Africa. Little did I know what impact that chance meeting would have on my career. These men, Bulelani Ngcuka and Saki Macozoma, were instrumental figures in the fight against Apartheid. Their stories of survival and triumph deeply moved me and reinforced my commitment to creating opportunities for others. During our recent trip to South Africa, I had the profound experience of celebrating their milestone birthdays and listening to their stories. It was particularly special as I brought my father along, fulfilling one of his bucket list dreams. This trip reminded me of the power of mentorship, the importance of surrounding oneself with inspiring individuals, and the joy of sharing memorable experiences with loved ones. I am grateful for the lessons learned from these remarkable men. They have fueled my drive to lead A&B Talent with a focus on diversity, inclusion, and excellence. While on your own journey, remember that resilience, passion, and support from incredible people can help you overcome any challenge. As I reflect on my story, I am inspired to continue pushing boundaries and helping others achieve their dreams. I nominate Carlos Beltre and Joseph Butler to share their #DefiantOriginStory. Let’s keep inspiring each other and celebrating our unique journeys.
