BECOME AN INVESTOR
I entered the investment space in 2017 by opening a Coinbase account and purchasing Bitcoin, followed shortly by launching my TD Ameritrade account to begin stock trading. What started as personal exploration quickly evolved into disciplined study and practice. By 2018, I was working under the guidance of my current cryptocurrency and Web3 mentor, Wayne Marcel, where I began applying structured strategies such as dollar-cost averaging.
In 2019, I partnered with my stock market investing mentor, Chris Holder, in an exclusive group called the Phoenix Circle. That partnership laid the foundation for co-founding SMC & Associates capital group in 2020, where I further refined my knowledge of both traditional and alternative investment asset classes.
Alongside these ventures, I authored several investor-focused ebooks designed to make the world of investing accessible and practical for everyday individuals. My writing bridges technical strategies with behavioral finance principles, equipping readers with tools to build long-term wealth.
Today, I am building an investor community, Black Scorpion Ventures, specifically for entry-level, non-accredited investors, a space dedicated to financial education, exposure to vetted opportunities, and cultivating the discipline required to succeed in modern investing. Through my network and experience, I help others navigate the path from their first investment to building lasting financial confidence.
