I have worked in finance for over 10 years and have 2 securities licensees which are a Series 6 and Series 63. I have worked in marketing of financial products/services as well as worked for start up firms. I have also started my own company 5 years ago in which most of my work is based online. I have worked with my fathers company and have access to some of the wealthiest families in the US (average net worth over $500 million) who are always looking for new, creative, alternative investments everyday. I have invested in my own business but would like to get in after the start up stage for a new investment opportunity after doing my own due diligence. I also dont just want to make money, I want to help the world be a better place at the same time. That is my mission.
