I’ve always had a thing for money—not in the greedy sense, but in the "how can I make it work for me?" sense. Growing up, my parents worked hard—my mom ran a cleaning business, and my dad busted his ass to provide for our family. If I wanted something, I had to figure it out myself.

At five years old, I negotiated my first job with my dad—$1 an hour to help him out. When I worked for my mom’s cleaning company, she acted as my “bank,” but I took it a step further, charging 10% monthly interest on my savings. By the time I wanted to go to hockey camp, my parents said, “We don’t have the money,” and I just pulled out my ledger.

Fast forward—college wasn’t for me. I dropped out and I knew pretty quickly I wasn’t built to work for someone else. So I went all in and built my own payments company.

That’s when I really got serious about financial freedom. I dove into books, retreats, coaching—anything to learn how to make my money work for me. I had a few painful lessons along the way, but once I started applying what I learned, everything changed.

By the time I met Mee, I had a solid system, and together, we took it to the next level—paying off student loans, buying real estate, and creating businesses that run without us. Now, we have the time and freedom to focus on what really matters—helping others break free from the grind and build the life they actually want.
