Hey Everyone! I am a man with many passions. Some of them include real estate, cryptocurrency, NFT's, web3 related topics and entrepreneurship! I have worked as a building engineer for the past 10 years. Outside of the normal 7-3, I created a mobile app called Headline Music in 2018, started an NFT collection called SBUDZ, got my real estate license and traded in the stock market for ALL THINGS CRYPTO! 

Oh yea, my wife and I also had 2 girls in less than a year...Im here to educate, innovate, learn and enjoy every day I can. Any questions, shoot me a message. I would love to connect
