The Story

I didn't go to MIT. I went to the school of "figure it out or go broke trying."

By day I'm in the pit — trading futures, reading macro, building conviction. By night I'm shipping code with a swarm of AI agents who never sleep. In between, I'm raising 7 kids and running restaurants.

People say I'm spread too thin. I say I'm fueled by caffeine and chaos.
