My passion for business started early. At the age of eight, I discovered collecting, which taught me the value of investing and recognizing opportunities. By eleven, I was buying and selling collectibles, and by twelve, I was taking on small jobs to earn my own income.
At seventeen, I began working as a technology consultant while pursuing graduate studies in finance at Baruch College. These early experiences laid the foundation for my entrepreneurial career.
After completing my education, I explored several business ventures before finding my passion in sales, marketing, and business development.
One of my biggest early lessons came after losing more than $200,000 by trusting the wrong marketing professionals. Instead of giving up, I immersed myself in learning, developed my own strategies, and went on to build and lead businesses across marketing, automotive, investments, consulting, and other industries.
Like every entrepreneur, I've experienced both success and failure — but every challenge became a lesson that shaped my approach to business.
In 2016, I co-founded ReCoin, one of the first real estate-backed cryptocurrency projects. Although the business showed strong potential, legal and regulatory challenges ultimately led to the project's closure and an 18-month federal prison sentence in 2019.
Rather than seeing this as the end of my journey, I treated it as an opportunity to grow. During that time, I read nearly 90 books, wrote several of my own, and completely reshaped my perspective on business, leadership, and life.
Today, my mission is to help entrepreneurs and business leaders avoid costly mistakes, make better decisions, and build stronger, more sustainable companies.
Everything I teach is based on real-world experience — not just theory. My goal is to share the lessons I've learned over more than two decades in business, helping others grow faster, lead with confidence, and create long-term success.
