About

I am an entrepreneur, content creator, investor, and founder of Card.io, known for my resilience and bold pursuit of opportunity. Raised in Louisville, Kentucky, I've overcome early setbacks, including losing my savings, job offers, and even housing during COVID, and moving to Austin with $2,000 while living in my car, hotels, and AirBnbs. A cold email to the CEO of Pokémon Go secured my first $50K investment, and in 2024, I landed a deal on Shark Tank with Daymond John and Rashaun Williams. I've gone on to grow that company to a 7-figure valuation, and create companies across B2B SaaS, real estate, content and more.

My journey proves that relentless belief and perseverance can turn obstacles into opportunities.

My mission is to inspire others to push past fear, setbacks, and doubt by showing what’s possible through resilience and relentless self-belief. I strive to lead growth in others by sharing my journey openly, creating opportunities, and empowering people to bet on themselves with discipline and confidence.

My storytelling method is rooted in honesty and lived experience. When I speak, I don’t just share the highlights, I talk about sleeping in my car, losing everything, and pushing through doubt, then show how those struggles fueled my growth. I believe people connect most when they see the unfiltered truth, and I deliver it with energy, motivation, and hard truths that push audiences to confront their own excuses. In workshops, I go deeper, using my wins and losses as case studies, asking tough questions, and giving actionable steps so every entrepreneur leaves not just inspired, but equipped to grow.
