The Bold Make History
Most people live inside a box defined by family, friends, and society, which make up their limiting beliefs. I don't subscribe to such limitations, and strive to bring others along on the path.
My closest friends describe me as relentless, driven, a great mentor, and inspiring.
I have lead international teams in business, hiked up remote mountainsides, performed in font of thousands of people, and push the edge on massive wealth generation.
My day is spent as a Senior Technical Program Manager - Product Security (Linux and Open Source technologies). In addition, I implement a sophisticated stock market investing and options trading strategies.
I'm and entrepreneur at heart and like working with small business. I have an associates degree in Computer Networking Technology, a bachelor's of science in Information Security and Management, and completed the Harvard CORe program.
By age 25, I owned a record label, of which I was performing live shows, doing radio station interviews, building marketing strategies, professionally recording myself and clients.
As a side project, I recorded and performed two music videos for the enterprise open source software provider company Red Hat (see references).
I have traveled the United States speaking at Red Hat's Convergence and other events.
There is much more, and more to come...

Investing & Trading
I began studying the traditional stock market and investments pretty intensely around 2015. Knowledge is power in the space, and contrary to conventional belief, the small investors (non multi-billion dollar funds) have a lot more potential for large returns than the bigger players do. I read every possible book I could get on general finance over the course of years and would fall asleep listening to audio books related to financial success to program myself to think about it constantly.
In 2019, I began advanced technical analysis courses of which I have studied deeply for many years on a daily basis to understand the fundamentals of technical analysis options trading.
Entrepreneur
My path on being an entrepreneur started with my passion for music and evolved out of necessity. In order to market, brand, and get my message out I had to become one. Later in life, I have taken that passion for business and startups and bundled it into my intense interest in technology and cryptocurrencies. I frequent meetup events and conferences to always keep learning, often where I meet other entrepreneurs whom I partner with. I am an early investor in a few small startups with big potential.
Crypto
The crypto market is a natural fit for my interests and skillset because I have a long background in technology and a deep study and discipline towards investing, trading, and technical analysis. It also bundles in nicely with a nomad lifestyle when you can take your tokens anywhere and easily transact internationally. It can also serve to prepare in the wake of global currency turbulence as we have seen since the 2020 pandemic. These cycles are not new, but have been accelerated by governments around the world.
Nomad
Community operator and curator for a high net worth nomad community closely associated with Nomad Capitalist, but not directly affiliated. I can be contacted directly if you would like to join our Whatsapp and Discord groups for the private links.
We share real world business experience focused on freedom, tax efficiency, and international business and investing opportunities.
I am also knowledgable towards residencies and citizenships for multiple countries to allow optimal flexibility in freedom and lifestyle.
Music
By age 25, I owned a record label, of which I was performing live shows, doing radio station interviews, building marketing strategies, professionally recording myself and clients.
When I started in music, there were no music streaming platforms, YouTube did not exist, and social media was not a thing. At that time, you had to hustle and network in person at shows and meet owners of venues through weeks, months, and years of dedication. We were on the streets of college campuses handing out fliers and self promoting our bands. I learned how to network and be persistent because the exposure route required getting on a radio station or TV in order to reach fans. This in-person touch still exists, but it hardened me to know how to do the real life hustling and grinding is still critical in music and business.
I have always enjoyed creating in a way that allows me to express myself and impact others. With my solo rap music, I really dug deep into the lyrical techniques and always challenged myself to rap in different styles and trying an array of different music from classic hip-hop to trap to rock music, etc.
Through my music, I embrace a range of way to connect people from fun all the way to mysterious and dark music.
As a side project, I recorded and performed two music videos for the enterprise open source software provider company Red Hat.
School
I have an associates degree in Computer Networking Technology, a bachelor's of science in Information Security and Management from East Carolina University (ECU), and attended Harvard Business School for their CORe program. Linkedin.
