In pursuit of a life
worth writing a book about.

I build systems that create freedom.

I'm a marketing strategist, AI systems builder, former Division I wrestler and Eagle Scout from Northern Virginia. Growing up I was expected to work hard and compete: year round sports, International Baccalaureate diploma, and friendly scraps with my younger brother. It shaped how I operate. I get shit done.

But my senior wrestling season I learned the hard way that grinding harder isn't always the answer. On my way to getting 2nd in the state tournament, I realized something was VERY wrong with my body and its ability to perform. That later got diagnosed as "Overtraining Syndrome" (aka adrenal fatigue or burnout). Because of that experience, I started off studying Kinesiology at George Mason University, where I continued my wrestling career (and continued to overtrain without proper rest).

My path was forever changed when I got introduced to the book Rich Dad Poor Dad. Robert Kiyosaki pointed out that most people are unknowingly trapped in the rat race: dependence on employers, long commutes stuck in traffic, paying a higher percentage in taxes, answering to a boss who doesn't care about you, all to get two weeks of vacation a year. Never earning the freedom to do what they want, when they want, with who they want.

I'm a rebel by nature, and knew then that wasn't the path I wanted to follow. So I switched my major to business and set my sights on a life I could design. After finishing my final wrestling season, I moved to San Diego to pursue my dream as a digital marketer and copywriter.

The early years were anything but glamorous. I worked around the clock learning advertising, funnels, email marketing, copywriting, and sales psychology from the ground up... with hardly anything to show for it. When one chapter ended, a friend took me in up in Orange County, where I spent 4.5 months sleeping on an air mattress in his garage while I figured out the next move. My parents told me to come home and get a real job. I told them I wasn't done yet.

That stubbornness paid off. I built a freelance marketing career, working directly with high level entrepreneurs like Nick Long, Danny Morel, Navin Thukkaram and others... Building sales funnels, writing copy that converts, and designing marketing machines to turn strangers into customers online.

In 2020 I moved to Indianapolis to start a new chapter as Director of Marketing at Kennected (2x Inc. 5000 award winner), then found my place at WarPlan, where I've worked directly with Josh Latimer ever since helping local business owners double their profit without spending a dime on ads.

Today I'm building AI-powered systems, learning to trade, and sharing what I discover along the way. Trading is one tool. Entrepreneurship is another. But freedom: physical, financial, relational, and mental, is the point. I believe every person is the captain of their own ship, the master of their own destiny. Most have just been too busy following someone else's map to realize it.
