I have been shaped by experiences that emphasized responsibility, leadership, and follow-through. Through my work with RF-SMART, I gained exposure to professional sales environments where preparation, communication, and accountability mattered. Becoming an Eagle Scout reinforced discipline, service, and perseverance at an early age, while serving as Treasurer of Alpha Epsilon Pi strengthened my understanding of financial responsibility, organization, and trust. Together, these experiences have shaped how I approach challenges today with structure, integrity, and a long-term mindset.

My investment philosophy centers on long-term wealth creation by identifying emerging markets early, before they become widely understood or overcrowded. Rather than chasing trends once they are fully priced in, I focus on assessing what the next major growth cycle could look like. For example, as certain areas of the AI market become increasingly saturated, I look toward earlier-stage opportunities such as quantum technologies, where uncertainty is higher but long-term potential is still being formed. While these assets tend to be more volatile, that volatility is also what creates the possibility for outsized, life-changing returns over time. To offset this volatility, I follow strict capital deployment rules designed to manage risk and reduce emotional decision-making. I scale into positions gradually by allocating 20 percent of total intended capital after a 20 percent decline, another 20 percent after a further 20 percent decline, and the remaining 40 percent after an additional 20 percent decline. I apply a similar approach during extended periods of price stability, adding capital incrementally if a position remains fundamentally intact but undervalued over time. This strategy is designed to protect against poor timing while increasing the probability of favorable long-term outcomes through discipline and patience.
