About Kirk

afforded him opportunities that many of us can only imagine.  Kirk has shared the stage with Najee, George Howard, Cameo, Brandy, R.Kelly, and more.  He also performed at the legendary Apollo Theatre in Harlem. Keyes is the owner of DarkEyes Records from which writes, produces, and distributes his original pieces.

 

During the recession, the profits from the real estate boom dried up, and Kirk knew he had to do something different in order to maintain a good quality of life. He was first introduced to network marketing by a college friend and fraternity brother. Keyes quickly brought his business savvy and go-get-it nature to this new and exciting venture. Kirk & Chimi were promoted to the Senior Vice President position in only 13 months and Platinum Senior Vice President in 5 1/2 years.

 

KIRK KEYES is the first Senior Vice President & Platinum Senior Vice President in North Carolina ( www.5LINX.net/LegacyGroup ).
