Global Traveler, Financial Investor and Entrepreneur

Jan 2017 – Present

Houston, Texas Area · Remote

As a global traveler, I have explored 84 countries, including challenging destinations such as Everest Base Camp, Rafting 188 miles down the Grand Canyon, the Patagonia, and Antarctica.
As a financial investor, I have developed a keen eye for selecting equities that perform well in the market. I stay current with industry trends, demo the products, and carefully analyze financial statements to make informed decisions. My track record of success is built on my understanding of the companies and markets I invest in.
As an entrepreneur, I am constantly on the lookout for opportunities to create value. I have launched and managed multiple businesses, from startups to established companies, with a focus on building strong relationships with clients and stakeholders. My negotiation skills and ability to close deals have helped me achieve profitability and success in every venture.
