I'm a registered investment advisor, entrepreneur, and author. In college I worked as Co-Editor for a trading newsletter after coding a lucrative stock-picking scanner. I founded Falite Capital Management LLC (a registered IA firm) last year and published my first book in April 2025. I am extremely passionate about investing and financial education and I believe it is my purpose to use my talents for their highest and best use. I currently wait tables through the evenings to cover myself until my business meets its fundraising goals, but I'd like to replace that work with something meaningful and enjoyable. I work exceptionally hard and am excited to get started!
