Hello, everyone! I'm a former U.S. Army Green Beret that separated from the military after serving 11 years with an Honorable Discharge in 2013. I now work as a Private Contractor at various overseas locations. I make a pretty good living nowadays and have a lot of time which I have been using for the past year studying everything from cyber security, stock, option, and futures trading, and real estate. I don't want to be like the rest of my coworkers that have these hefty bank accounts and don't have the slightest idea how to invest and make it grow. I am highly motivated and rarely fail at anything, but when I do, I pick myself up, analyze the mistakes I've made, and provide an immediate and long term solution. I have taken over villages and towns from enemy forces whenever I was deployed in combat so my new goal is to take over the world (not in a pinky and the brain kind of way). I look forward to learning as much as I can and networking my little heart out. Have a great day!
