While he’s had some success in business and real estate, his last land deal nearly cost the family their savings.Today, Teddy’s looking to hit the professional reset button and shed the “Mr. Rayna Jaymes” labels. He’s down, but not out, and looking for a win. He’d do just about anything to get one.
