At what age did you realize your fascination with books? When did you start writing?
I first realized my fascination with books when I was studying for my bachelors degree in college at University of California at Riverside. However, I didn’t get started writing until I met a gentleman by the name of Paul Walker at business networking mixer among C-Suite executives in Orange County, California.

My list of favorite authors are extensive and I don’t think I could possibly list them all. However, some of my favorite authors include David Meltzer, Patrick Bet David, Daymond John, Jack Welch, Warren Buffet, Daniel Priestley, David Goggins, Robert Kiyosaki and more. My favorite genre is a mix between business finance and self-improvement. My inspiration comes from family and that includes my mother in particular. In addition, to my family I draw inspiration from individuals that demonstrate a high level of success.
Tell us a little about your latest book?
Many of my peers have told me that they believe this is a help me to help you type of book.

A lot of myths are dispelled and resourceful information is packed inside of the book.
