My Story
Turning Point
In November 2018, around the age of 15, my life took a defining turn. After years of relying on my mother's financial support, she challenged me to step outside my comfort zone, take responsibility for my future, and begin creating my own income. It ultimately sparked my journey into entrepreneurship, independence, and personal growth.
Bootstrapping with FiveM
Determined to build something for myself, I turned to gaming. Heavily involved in FiveM, a GTA roleplay community, I proposed my mother for an investment. She agreed. I purchased two dedicated servers and started reselling slots to friends. By end of the first month I had sold more than 47 slots proof I could turn passion into profit.
Century Hosting & Leadership
Early success motivated me to expand by acquiring smaller hosting companies Frost Hosting, Fallen Peak, Bay Shore, IBO, and Colo Hosting. I hired original owners to manage operations, transforming a gaming side project into Century Hosting, then Century Host. As CEO I scaled the brand into a recognized industry name, serving as Board Member at CenturyLink and COO at IBL.
Fleet & Real Estate
By 19, I stepped into the automotive world. I bought three cars and listed them on Turo that single choice grew to a fleet of 68 vehicles. Simultaneously I built a real estate portfolio of nearly 40 Airbnb properties, 37 arbitraged. These ventures taught me the power of diversification and resilience.
FX, Crypto & Clean Energy
I expanded into the foreign exchange market, developing stronger discipline, risk management, and data driven decision making while using Python to analyze market trends and automate trading strategies. During this time, I also became an Ambassador with BBlack.IO, helping grow its presence through cryptocurrency education, recruitment, and international brand development. In 2022, after purchasing our first Tesla, I developed a strong interest in clean energy and modern infrastructure. Through friends and family already working in the industry, I became involved in construction, solar panel installations, and residential electrical work. That hands on experience gave me a deeper understanding of renewable energy systems and the construction process. Building on that foundation, I went on to co found several companies within the Century Foundation focused on clean energy, construction, infrastructure, and sustainable development.
Learning Through Practice
I earned my Bachelor's in Business Management, studied at UCLA, and continued in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Education for me goes beyond classrooms it's real experience and applied knowledge every day. I'm now pursuing law and aviation while working toward my pilot's license, all while managing multiple businesses.
Engineering Human Vision Technology
I privately launched Centurys Vision, a platform built to redefine how people experience digital displays. Designed around real world vision needs, it focuses on adapting screen rendering to individual eyesight, creating a more accessible and personalized viewing experience.
Principles That Drive Me
What started with two servers and a bold risk at 16 has grown into a journey defined by innovation, resilience, and vision. I operate across technology, automotive, and real estate, expanding into new markets while building systems designed for long term growth. Setbacks aren't failures they're pressure points that force adaptation.
Life in Motion
One of the most defining transformations in my life came through health and fitness. At 6'3½" and 263 pounds, I made the decision to completely change my mindset, daily habits, and level of discipline. Through consistency, accountability, and patience, I transformed not only my body but also my outlook on life. Today, at 6'4" and 187 pounds, that journey serves as a constant reminder that meaningful change doesn't happen overnight. It comes from showing up every day, refusing to quit, and committing to becoming better than you were yesterday.
