New Investor in Cleveland Area
Hello everyone, my name is Daniel Smith and I'm a new investor based out of Cleveland Oh. I'm currently finishing up my MFA in Illustration in San Francisco CA. I got into investing after realizing that I didn't want to be a slave to the whims of Art Directors, due to the fact that layoffs are very common in the game/entertainment industry. My goal for real estate investing is to get out of the rat race and start my own animation and video game studio. I'm glad to be here and look forward to talking and networking with everyone.
