I have been an entrepreneur for as long as I can remember, starting my first real business at age 13. Over the next years, my businesses had grown substantially to scale across the country. This early success allowed me to follow my passion for investments and finance which naturally led me to stocks and crypto. My first purchase of bitcoin was in 2013 but I didn't start investing heavily until years later.

In my crypto journey, Cardano really stood out to me as a contender to be the best. The more I read, the more I believed in the mission. I now spend my time not only running my businesses but also helping to educate investors through grounded, level-headed presentations in the finance and crypto space.
