What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
The evidence is clear: deteriorating academics, increasing violence, and ineffective methods are leaving our kids lacking fundamental skills, experience, and knowledge. In Minnesota alone, reading and math scores have declined to the lowest in 30 years, with 70% of students not proficient in these subjects. Simultaneously, AI, automation, and technology are advancing exponentially and according to Goldman Sachs will lead to the loss of 300 million jobs, including those in sales, software development/IT, and healthcare.
My why is seeing Seneca (4yrs old) reading at a middle school level, building electronics and learning business; or Akshay going on to study at Stanford and be nominated for the Gates, Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships. My mission is to give parents the peace of mind that comes with knowing their children will thrive in any future, and empower kids with elite critical thinking and problem-solving skills they need to unlock their genius. -
About me
I was born and raised in St. Paul, MN, and I come from humble beginnings. My dad immigrated to the U.S from Mexico in search of a better life when he was 18, and he ended up making his way to MN, where he met my mom. I have two younger siblings, and being a big brother has been an amazing experience. I've been able to help them grow and develop while being a positive example for them to follow.
Growing up, I always wanted to do something that would make a difference in people's lives. At first, I dreamed of becoming a firefighter, police officer, or doctor. Sports have been a big part of my life (baseball, basketball, football) and as I matured, my goal was to play professional basketball in the NBA use my platform to make a difference in the world.
My plans took a different turn when I realized that I could make a huge impact in the world through business and entrepreneurship… and there was a bit of a height requirement to the NBA haha! As a junior in high school, I started in sales. First in door-to-door, then quickly becoming one of the top reps for a multi-billion dollar fortune 15 company. BUT, I still felt like something was missing.
At that time, I began to see the problems that kids and families were facing in school: academic decline, rising violence, and an outdated approach to preparing kids for a future of AI and automation. Almost by chance, I met some educators who had developed a way to fundamentally change how we educate kids and solve the biggest problems families are facing.
Today, I am an experienced entrepreneur, speaker, and educator, driven by a mission to educate the planet. As CEO/Founder, I take pride in providing the best tools, resources, and communities to support families. I've set my sights on serving 2M+ Minnesotan families and forge a new path in education. I am a connector at heart and love attending local and national events and conferences. I also run my own event called the MN Success Mastermind.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing Catan, taking cold plunges, and spending time with family. I am obsessed with learning and growing and am always striving to improve myself and those around me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, I’m looking forward to hear yours! -
