    BACKGROUND

    I'd like to point out that my greatest achievement is getting to this point in my life. At the age of 25 I have: bought an investment property(offsetting my housing costs),successfully invested 10 thousand dollars into the stock martket( with a 6% return), survived the econocimic trials of covid-19, financially supported my wife through college, comfortably retired my mother, successfully returned to school, and care for my wonderful 2 year-old son. Oh, and survived 2 brain surgeries when i was 20.

    Moreover, I have found that I am extremely fascinated and have a natural flow with numbers. Thus I am persuing a Bachelors degree in Finance, with a career path as a Investment Banking Analyst. Furthermore, during the Covid-19 pandemic I have found myself extremely interested in: stock market,personal finance, leveraging credit, debt, and investment opportunities. This has caused me to join stock market groups on facebook and read tons of books that are finance related. My favorite book is "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham.

    Currently I have finished my short term goals of becoming financially stable, and financially supporting my wife while she attends college. The only remaining short term goal is graduating myself and breaking into the investment world. My long-term goals are to own more investment properties and grow my stock portfolio. Also, a long-term goal is to constantly grow and better myself. By this I mean forming relationship both personal and professional that will lead to a happy and fulfulling life and career.
