About Me

I was born and raised in Miami in a Cuban and Puerto Rican household, and I have a lot of love for my family and friends. At 22, I was working at Ace Hardware and driving for Uber Eats, making $9 per hour. Fast forward—I spent over three years working on Wall Street and now dedicate my time to educating people on personal finance.

Here’s a bit of backstory to my simulation:

Upon graduating high school with an "impressive" 2.9 GPA, I faced a harsh reality when I received rejections from every single university I had applied to.

My first two years at community college were marked by endless hours spent in the Miami Dade Library and my parents' garage, isolated and absorbing as much knowledge as humanly possible—books, podcasts, YouTube—seven days a week. Most of my friends went off to four-year universities, and at times, I felt as if I were a failure or lesser than them. I would receive comments from people like, "Oh, well, you've got to start somewhere, right...?" or "Nice, so you're basically in 13th grade."

Throughout this journey, I experienced the full spectrum of emotions—from the highs of achievement and confidence to the lows of anxiety and self-doubt. Around the age of 19, I used to hang out with my friend (Yoda) at his dad's warehouse, where there was a back room with one desktop, two chairs, one computer, and the occasional cockroach.. And that is where it started for me. (Yoda) introduced me to stocks and investing, and it changed my life.

Like, why did I not know about this before? Why did school never teach us this? Throughout those days, I became hyper-obsessed with personal finance and figuring out what else I didn’t know about in the world of money.

Eventually, I graduated with dual majors in Accounting and Finance, along with a Master’s in Finance from Florida International University, achieving cum laude.

Bye, Miami. I ended up moving to New York to work on Wall Street for three-plus years.

After spending time up there, I had a realization—I hated the cold, I missed my family, and something just didn’t feel right. I was literally in a job that, if I had told my younger self, they would have NEVER believed me! But something felt off. The thought of being a tiny cog in the game of billionaires wasn’t it.

During that time, I would get texts or calls from friends and family back home asking me things that I maybe thought were common knowledge (how to invest, paying off debt, should I buy or rent, how can I save more...).

And then it hit me...

Why don't I just educate people on the money conversations they’ve never had?

Today, I use everything I’ve learned to help others on their personal finance journeys. I created the Building Wealth Bootcamp.

Whether you want to pay off debt, start investing, or build wealth, you’re in the right place. I don’t just give you knowledge—I teach you how to apply what you learn in real life.

Through my newsletter, I connect with 400+ OGs (with a 45% open rate) and share actionable money tips with over 5,000 followers on TikTok.

Outside of work, I recently got married to my girlfriend of seven years. I also train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and kickboxing, speak both English and Spanish, and have learned to code in Python.

Whether it’s through my bootcamps, or my platform—which has featured guests like Tom Bilyeu, Gary Vee, and Anthony Pompliano— my goal is educate people about money without the B.S!
