Business and Life Coaching

I graduated summa cum laude from university. After earning perfect scores on the GRE, I later pursued postgraduate studies and taught university courses. Because of careful investments in the stock market and real estate, I "retired early" around age 26. I own multiple businesses and continue to teach, because those activities are great sources of joy, and my wife and I homeschool our four children.

Because of my experience, qualifications, and degrees, I am certified to teach a wide range of subjects, from the Humanities-related to anything Business and Finance-related, and many other subjects in-between. Take a look at the huge number of subjects which I am qualified to teach here on Wyzant!

My clients are an assortment of great people from all walks of life: homeschooled children, business professionals, private firms specializing in AI, CEOs, political leaders, Fortune 500 companies, high school students, and more. I have helped them to improve their lives and achieve their goals. Many of my students have graduated with outstanding honors and 4.0 GPAs, and have received full scholarships to high-tier and "Ivy League" universities. My professional clients have earned personal, business, and financial success, especially through investing.

I can help you achieve your goals, too. Contact me and we'll schedule a session!
