Built From
the Ground Up
"The gift was always there — the gift for creating cashflow. I just had to learn how to systematize it."
Origin
San Antonio → Minnesota
Born in San Antonio and raised in Minnesota by his grandfather — a state-champion boxer. Grit and discipline weren't taught in school. They were absorbed at home, watching a man who had already proven himself under real pressure.
Age 9
First Cashflow
Sold candy door-to-door in the neighborhood. First taste of creating value, delivering it, and keeping the margin. The system was simple. The lesson was permanent: find a need, fill it, collect.
University
Univ. of Minnesota
Founded Down for Dirt Records while studying — learning distribution, contracts, and marketing before any MBA had a curriculum for it. Hip-hop was the vehicle. The business education was real.
Age 23
First $2M
18 rental units. A riverside condo. Approximately $2 million in net worth. Built by stacking systems, not luck. Degrees in Business Management and Paralegal / Commercial-Law Studies followed the capital — not the other way around.
PMP
Systems at Scale
Project Management Professional certification. The formal language of metrics, governance, and delivery — applied to everything from real estate to record deals to AI infrastructure. The system always comes first.
Gold-Backed Finance.
A Fleet of Agents That Never Stops.
