My dad worked in the banking sector, and one day I asked him, “How do banks actually work?” His answer sparked something in me. As a curious kid with a big imagination, I decided to create my own version of a bank—right there at school.
I started collecting deposits from classmates, opening savings accounts, and using raffles to multiply that money. It worked surprisingly well... until the principal shut it down. I like to joke that it was my first and only time having to close down an operation due to government intervention.
I went on to start three different businesses, sharing the load with two other business partners. We launched ideas, tested what worked and what didn’t, and kept searching for new models that could get us to the goals I had in mind.
My aim was clear: reach at least $1M in revenue. I experimented with different approaches until one finally hit that target.
For a few years, I enjoyed the rewards of that success. But with rapid changes in technology, I knew it wasn’t something that would last forever.
It became clear that it was time to start looking for my next big adventure.
I started to question whether getting an MBA made sense for someone like me (someone already building companies and learning through hands-on experience.)
Then, on a trip to Colorado, I crossed paths with Jeff Sandefer, by what some might call pure serendipity.
That conversation shifted everything. I discovered a different kind of MBA—one built by entrepreneurs, for entrepreneurs.
With the support of my business partners, we hired a new CEO, and I packed my bags for Austin, Texas to pursue the Acton MBA.
It was a bold move. I left my business behind, changed countries, and jumped into a new chapter. That decision sharpened my thinking, expanded my network, and reminded me that building a meaningful life takes courage.
What followed was a new series of changes. I entered a new industry, started a family, and redefined the way I approached business and leadership.
Looking back, it sounds a insane! But that’s just how I roll.
My goal was to create and sell a company in 7 years, for an amount that would give me financial freedom. It took me 10 years, but after applying all the things learned at Acton MBA, I was able to exit my business through a successful acquisition.
I now serve as an investor on Shark Tank Guatemala, mentor ambitious founders, through all these years, I've remained involved with Acton MBA, helping it expand in Guatemala and Madrid.
Today I play the role of director and I continue to drive the mission of preparing and equipping the next generation of principled entrepreneurs.
I believe in the power of community to accelerate growth. I’m part of networks that bring together ambitious entrepreneurs, investors, and change-makers from around the world.
