THE STORY
How I got here
I grew up in the Central Valley. At 16 I started a window cleaning business because I wanted my own money, and the first time a customer paid me cash on the spot, that was it. Best month: $15,000. I still take jobs when I'm home.
Between then and now I tried almost everything. Copywriting, dropshipping, Amazon FBA, AI TikTok accounts that hit 25k followers in two months. Most of it I quit inside three months. I used to hide that. Now I count it as tuition.
At 18 I spent four weeks in Singapore, Taiwan, and Bali with builders I met online. I watched people who own almost nothing live happier than most people I know back home. I came back clear on what I'm actually after: enough ownership and enough systems that nobody decides where I have to be, and my parents never think about a bill again.
Now I study entrepreneurship at Grand Canyon University, swim at 5:30, and build the rest of the day. A couple of founders who have been where I'm going took a bet on me. The plan from here: build in public, keep the receipts, let the work talk.
