God told me to quit my dream job. 🤯 So I did.
I had almost NO financial knowledge, but I left my secure aerospace career to build a hedge fund.
Now, I'm on a mission to build a billion-dollar fintech company right here in my hometown of Savannah, GA. This is my origin story.
(P.S. Watch 'til the end for some hilarious bloopers!)

The rules are often made for the wealthy, but I'm changing that!
Q: How do you compete when the odds are stacked against you? A: You stop playing their game and start a new one.
I'm on a mission to build a billion-dollar company right here in my hometown of Savannah, Georgia. If Warren Buffett can build Berkshire Hathaway in Omaha, Nebraska, I believe I can bring those same economic benefits, jobs, and opportunities back to the community that raised me.
This video is the origin story of that mission. From growing up in Sunset Park, quitting my dream job at Gulfstream Aerospace, to starting a hedge fund, and now launching a new fintech company to bring wealth back home to Savannah.
Watch the full story and join the mission. Don't forget to watch till the end for exclusive behind the scenes footage and bloopers.
