Who Am I?

I’ll be real with you.

Maybe even too real for a space like this. But I want you to see exactly who you're following, to know if you can connect with me and if there’s something valuable you can learn from my journey. Writing this wasn’t easy, but here we go.

Let Me Tell You a Story.

I was born in 1995 in a third-world country. This is what the street looked like:

No cement. No running water. No opportunities.

I never met my father. From what I’ve heard, he was an alcoholic and violent. For years, I had nightmares, visions of demons, fights, and family abuse. They say young kids don’t remember much, but trust me, the mind holds on to things.

When I was three, my mother left for Romania to continue her studies, and I stayed behind, raised by my grandparents, the most loving people I could have asked for. They were the first to show me what love is, and without them, I’m not sure I would have ever truly understood it.

At seven, my mother took me with her to Romania. And that’s when the hardest years of my life began.

Poverty in the countryside is one thing. Poverty in a city is another beast.

On top of everything, I had to learn a new language. Kids can be ruthless when someone speaks funny or has an accent. I was bullied constantly until I was 14. I got into fights weekly, came home bruised, broke my nose at least four times. Teachers saw me as the problem, even when it was always me against the others, often multiple at a time.

I had no siblings. No male role model. No one to stand up for me.

I had to fight for myself.

Something had to change. I mastered the language by reading hundreds of books. I became articulate.

At some point, I met my stepfather—a man who, despite having no formal education or income, took responsibility for my schooling in those early years. But at 15, my mother left to work abroad in Germany to provide for us. Once again, I was alone.

By 16, I was full of anger, fed up with pain, and tired of feeling like my life was out of my control. I decided I wanted money. I wanted to be a millionaire.

I built my first website. Within six months, it was pulling in over 30,000 monthly visitors. I started making money from ad contracts and Google AdSense.

At 19, I won a scholarship and moved to Denmark to study Marketing for four years. I worked part-time to afford rent while studying.

At 21, I discovered crypto and trading. With the little money I had from my part-time job, I invested in NEO and ETH.

At 23, I had $60,000. That money funded my first business. Things were going well. I had two full-time employees, an office, and steady growth.

At 24, I made my first €10,000 in a single month. The plan was working. I was on my way to becoming a millionaire.

At 25, the world shut down. COVID hit. My inexperience mixed with a global crisis wiped out my contracts, deals, and business. By 26, I was broke again.

That year, I also watched my stepfather fall into alcoholism, becoming violent towards my mother and me. Another ugly divorce. More chaos. It felt like no matter how hard I fought, life kept beating me down.

I am the struggler. (If you’ve read Berserk, you know what I mean.)

At 27, I refused to accept this as my destiny. I moved to Switzerland and got a full-time job to fund my dream.

Now, at 29, through investing and trading, I’ve built my portfolio from zero to six figures in just two years. My goal? To scale it to multi-millions, not just for me, but for my family and future generations.

My kids will never go through what I did.

There’s so much more I could add, but I’m not here to make a drama out of my life. I want to show you that it’s possible. It’s not about what happens to you; it’s about how you respond.
