I am nobody special, just a kid born & raised in Brooklyn, NY with a big heart and full of ambition! I've always wanted to be as resourceful as possible. That was instilled in me because my parents always told me that, "One hand washes the other, and both hands wash the face, and that if there was ever any information that I could learn and pass on the next person then it was my obligation to do so because we all need help!" This is why I am so passionate about what I do for a living. I don't know if we grew up the same way, but no one ever took the time out of their day to teach me about money. Growing up we didn't have any financial professionals helping empower our communities, so I felt it was my calling the become the one. My wife Krystle and I are advocates for Financial Literacy. We share a combined 15 years of experience working in the real estate industry and "retired in our thirties," as we transitioned into the Financial Services Industry because we saw how we could leave a bigger impact on the world and help more people in this particular field. We take all the "complex information about money, and all the myths and rules of building wealth" and break it down into the simplest ways so that even a child can understand and apply the knowledge. Our vision is to help 8 Million Families achieve financial independence, through a proper financial education as well as applied knowledge of products & services that will help people grow, protect, save their hard earned money and build a financial foundation for their families through creating legacies and generational wealth. We teach 99% of the population exactly what the top 1% of wealthy Americans are doing with their money and show how simple it is to do the same thing for them selves. Proper Planning begins with proper education. We help people prepare for their futures by showing what options are available to them.
