You wake up at 8 am. Grab a coffee and instantly feel the relief of no longer being stressed out about money. Your financial future is secured, and you’re building generational wealth for your family on autopilot.

You’re able to spend the next few hours pursuing that passion project, working at a job that’s rewarding, or even having a lazy morning with your kids because, let’s face it - they won’t be young for long.

Maybe you’re able to book a vacation without having to worry about credit card debt or missing out on income. 

Most importantly, your money is working hard for itself, and you understand investing and the stock market like never before. You can now take the latest market news and apply it to your personal investment strategy with ease.

Right now, you probably have a lot of questions about investing, and that’s understandable. When I first got started, I was afraid that I would never have enough to invest and didn’t know where to start.

After working as a financial advisor, I learned that there were smart, simple ways to reduce the odds that I would lose money in the market. I created a comprehensive program to help you do the same.

I bought my very first stock in 2010, and I’ve been helping others grow their wealth through the stock market ever since. 

Today, I’ve helped my students and clients invest over $140 million. 

Today, I know what it takes to find the right investments and protect your portfolio.  

But back in 2010, things were different. I just completed my internship at an investment firm in NYC. After 10 weeks on Wall Street, I was still confused about how the stock market worked, what to invest in, and how to start investing on my own. 

There I was at the center of the finance world, literally on Wall Street and couldn’t figure out how to invest on my own. I read all the books and watched all the videos, but when it came time to open my account, I would get lost and second-guess myself. 

That’s when I learned I didn’t need to grasp everything overnight. I knew that if I could start to master just 1-2 topics at a time, I could slowly grow my investing knowledge base. 

Four years later, I would find myself in New York working as a financial advisor, helping people understand the stock market by breaking their investing goals down into simple, easy-to-follow steps. 

That process started to catch on. By 2017, I was named one of the top 100 Most Influential Financial Advisers by Investopedia. My simple process to the stock market works.
