He's a teacher, high school teacher, football coach for a million years.

Such a community-focused person.

Just took such an interest in his students over the years and everything like that.

I took accounting at St.

Mary's and I went to PwC, got my CPA.

After doing that for about four years of grinding my tail feather off too, I decided to take a consulting job down in the US.

I mostly did deals for Johnson & Johnson, mostly divestitures, a little bit on the buy side as well.

I lived out of suitcases and just, you know, that's really where I saved all of my money, started to invest, started to get interest in this world of personal finance and everything like that.

I think I read Rich Dad Poor Dad at some point around then.

So that just got me motivated to maybe go into entrepreneurship later down the line.

And then eventually I decided to have a little bit more foundation and just stop moving all the time.

Then I went into corporate finance at Sonos.

I flipped around roles in the company multiple times.

I eventually decided to get a little bit out of accounting and finance and go into more automation, implementing AI, which is a hot button issue for everyone.

And then just this last year, I started kind of posting online and I always wanted to do education and do some consulting as well, potentially.

And just this last month, I transitioned full-time into this job and everything like that.

But I always wanted to do some sort of teaching just for my dad and everything like that.

And my favorite job was coaching kayaking, actually.

as a teen.

So it's been really rewarding.
