Thriving Despite Autism, Dyslexia, Processing Disorders and Poverty

Maybe like you, I struggled with poverty as a child. Despite my seven neuro-divergent conditions, I’ve managed my way through crisis after crisis.  Through my experiences, I’ve identified four key steps to help myself and many others, to thrive despite seemingly insurmountable challenges. Using fearless optimism and steadfast determination I've become a successful author, speaker, and angel Investor. Now, I'm using Silicon Valley’s deal-making culture as a vehicle to spread my message of “Altruistic Capitalism” and inject capital into the hands of fearlessly ambitious, creative, and passionate underserved entrepreneurs looking to spark positive change in this world.

I love to share actionable knowledge...

"I've made a life out of doing it for myself, and now I've dedicated my life to giving it to others—to help everybody... take a little bit of that money that is just stagnated at the top, and spread it down to you folks who are working your asses off to earn it."

My Mission Is to Empower
