My story, rapid fire:
- Grew up ~300 pounds. Lost it all at age 20. Now 180 at 6’3”.
- Lost father at 13. He left my mom who earned $26k per year with unknown debt and a voided life insurance policy (due to him changing it 3 days before laws changed where he’d need her signature to change it).
- Trained as mechanical engineer
- Had life drained out of me by two governmental co-op jobs
- Taught myself programming
- Worked as freelancer web developer for 5 years

- Have read Harry Potter in 6 languages
- April 2017 started a growth agency, Bell Curve (more below) with co-founder Julian Shapiro
- Early 2019 started a marketing education startup, Demand Curve (more below). Got accepted to Y Combinator in Summer 2019
