Raised – I’m New Yorker – Madhattan: 1yr Midtown (apt above the Gershwin Theater), 7yrs Crooklyn (Borough Park), & 25+ yrs Staten Italy (Bullshead & PrincesBay)
If you grew up as a partially-deaf kid, in the greatest city in the world, you knew, it wasn’t easy but it wasn’t hard, you learn to take the good/bad and say “Na – I’m good” and you keep walking.

Yeah, my first job was working for my dad in my younger years, working for my dad that was golden, he showed me marketing and street hustle sales 101 and everything in between, from the grand master himself. “Venha comigo, vou te mostrar o que é trabalho duro”. But McDonalds was the first job at 16 to teach me business 101, proud to have worked there, learned more about the art of the business hustle than any college level 100 – 400 business classes I’ve taken would have. After working for them for 2 years, I became entrepreneur, you realize if Maurice & Robert McDonald could make it happen, I could too.. I’ve fail plenty, but you learn what not to do again, that is the key to success. Like Jason Calacanis tells his founders – “Do The Work” – those words are so true.
Family – Wife, Kids, Dogs, but no flying pigs, lime green sheep, or gold-horned unicorns – yet.
School – Brooklyn: St. John’s Pre-K, Staten Island: PS 60, IS 72, Richmondtown Prep, College of Staten Island, Brooklyn: New York City Technical, Manhattan: Culinary school, New Jersey: DeVry Technical, Pennsylvania: Northampton Community College
Visited – Every major US city mostly for work (in some cases 5Xs), sometimes it was personal, Canada, Hawaii, Fiji, 26 Caribbean islands (hopped/stayed at the main island or her smaller islands for a day or a few).
Folks should travel and explore the world, see what’s out in the world and understand their culture and values. Life is learning, learning is what life is about.
Books – Business (Basics, Historical, Nichies), Art (Modern, Deco, Historical), History (1100-1800s, 1920s, Present), & Sciences (Engineering, Physics, Astrophysics, Mathematics & Psychology) When do you stop learning? NEVER. Failure to learn is failure to be successful.
Cars – Owned a bunch, wrecked a few [Sorry dad – that girl was pretty], I liked to race a lot.
At 13yo, learning to drive is/was a life changing experience, until my dad was up, waiting for me at 1am. Speed is a dangerous drug for young kid like me, it was highly addictive. That blacked out charger down south has nothing on me. [Kids don’t speed, I was really stupid at 17]
Hobbies – Health, Invent, BMX, SK8, Bc of Racecar, Camping, Beach Lizard, and Tinker of Fix It.
Sports – Build Racecar, and watch Autosports, Futbol, Basketball, Baseball & Watersports.
Fan – Seleção, Flamengo, Barça, Madrid, Union & interMiami / 76ers, Phillies, Eagles / Yankees, Knicks, Nets, Jets, Giants.
Life – Body & Mind is a temple in which I thank our Father every morning to lead the path I’ve chosen to support the family and pass my knowledge of my legacy.
Future – Make humanity happy in some way either thru my work or contribute, build more stuff, fund other people’s crazy dreams, and take a vacation on the Moon and/or Mars.
