I don’t have a traditional story. Didn’t chase degrees. Didn’t climb ladders. Didn’t play it safe to impress anyone.
I was wired differently from the start. Chess over football. More time alone than in groups. Drawn to strategy, games, and systems I could figure out on my own.
I joined the military at 18. Became a police officer at 24. Then got fired. Not for failing, but for being different. For having autism.
That could’ve been the end. It wasn’t.
I built back.
Through iron. Through strategy. Through risk. Into business. Into investing. Into ownership.
That path led me into crypto, where I contributed to leading Web3 projects.
Now I write. I build. I move on my own terms.
This site’s not here to sell dreams. It’s just the result of everything that came before it.
