My Story
Early Life
I was born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, growing up in Iowa, where hard work and resilience were a way of life. My early years were shaped by Christian values, a strong sense of community, and the belief that success comes from perseverance and determination. From an early age, I developed a deep appreciation for discipline, leadership, and the power of setting goals.
After graduating from high school, I made the life-changing decision to enlist in the United States Marine Corps. I served on active duty for six years, where I honed my leadership skills, mental toughness, and adaptability in high-pressure environments. The military instilled in me a strong sense of duty, teamwork, and problem-solving—qualities that would serve me well in the years to come.
Following my service, I transitioned into civilian life and pursued higher education using the GI Bill. I enrolled at California State University, Northridge, where I applied the same dedication and work ethic that had guided me through the military. My time in college was marked by academic excellence and personal growth, culminating in my graduation with Magna Cum Laude honors.
The discipline and mindset I developed through my experiences—from my upbringing in Iowa to my years in the Marine Corps and my academic achievements—became the foundation for my future endeavors. These lessons would later shape my approach to business, investing, and coaching others to achieve financial independence and long-term success.
Career
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working for some of the largest Fortune 500 companies, where I played a pivotal role in forecasting billions of dollars in product demand. My expertise in analying market trends, and strategic forecasting has allowed these companies to optimize inventory, maximize profitability, and stay ahead of market fluctuations. Managing such high-stakes forecasting has not only sharpened my analytical skills, but it has also deepened my understanding of economic cycles, consumer behavior, and the fundamental principles that drive success.
Beyond the corporate world, I have become a successful entrepreneur, leveraging my expertise to become a highly skilled stock market trader. My approach to trading is more speculative in nature, mirroring the strategies of professional traders in the market. I focus on identifying high-probability opportunities, managing risk effectively, and executing trades with precision. A key aspect of my strategy is patience—waiting for the right market conditions to develop before taking action. This disciplined approach allows me to maximize opportunities while maintaining control over risk and capital management.
In addition to trading, I am the author of Forgotten Secrets: Passing on Generational Wealth, a book dedicated to helping individuals build lasting financial legacies. Through my writing, I teach people how to leverage their existing resources to establish successful entrepreneurial ventures, ensuring they can create and sustain generational wealth for their families. My mission is to empower individuals—especially those who may not have come from wealth—with the knowledge and tools needed to break financial cycles and create opportunities for future generations.
As a life coach and educator, I am passionate about sharing the principles of an investor mentality and entrepreneurship. Whether through my book, my trading expertise, or my coaching, I strive to help others shift their mindset from merely earning income to strategically building wealth. By blending corporate experience with entrepreneurial success, I have developed a unique perspective on what it takes to achieve financial independence and long-term success.
Christian Faith
My Christian faith is the foundation of my life and deeply influences my approach to coaching and wealth-building. I believe that financial success is not just about accumulating wealth, but it is about using our resources wisely to create a lasting impact for future generations. As parents and leaders, our responsibility goes beyond leaving behind material wealth; we must equip the next generation with the skills, the mindset, and the values that they will need to build upon what we leave for them. Too often, the baton is dropped in the transition from one generation to the next one, leading to lost opportunities and broken legacies. My mission is to help individuals not only achieve financial success but also prepare their children to carry that success forward with wisdom, faith, and purpose.
Personal Life
I’m a proud husband and father of three, building a life rooted in faith, family, and growth. My wife, who is from Peru, brings a beautiful mix of culture and energy into our home, making life even more vibrant. Between parenting, pursuing my passions, and guiding others in business and investing, every day is an adventure.
