Today, in partnership with my colleagues, I run a company called LineofCredit.AI.
As you may have noticed, we provide lines of credit to various investors with entrepreneurial projects.
Prior to this position, I was the CEO of Arcadia Group: An investment firm that invests in various real estate transactions through Americas.
Today, I’m an investor in early stage tech companies, real estate developments as well enjoy shares of fortune 500 companies.
The truth is, I didn't start here. I used to be a marketing guy working for big technology companies (Bell, Dell, IBM, SAP, etc.) both as an employee and later as a consultant.
I got into real estate investing because I needed to figure out ways of creating additional sources of income to support my family.
I came to the conclusion that employer/employee loyalty was fast eroding and salaries and bonuses couldn’t keep up with the speed of inflation growth.
As I started a family, I needed to find secure/passive income so that I could financially support my extended family members and real estate investing (at the time) offered me a vehicle to do so.
As I started to build a real estate investment business with my best friends (Jesse, Jim, Anitra, Jason, Ken, Mira, John, Sharon and Dennis) and in the process discovered a niche called wholesale investing - where you purchase bulk income properties at a discounted rate and later refinance them and create an infinite return on investment.
As my real estate portfolio grew, I started to build relationships with banks in Canada, the US, and Europe and discovered how to leverage my network and combine it with my assets to access new lines of credit.
This allowed me to start hobby projects and learn a lot of people, leadership and company culture.
I started a non-profit called One Million Acts of Innovation – where our mission became to elevate Canada’s innovation rankings within 5 years.
One Million Acts of Innovation caused a number of different organizations to contact me. Through that, I created related projects: One Million Acts of Payments, One Million Acts of Education, etc.
I took my experience and started an investment company called 8 Billion Acts of Innovation where we created an environment to connect human ingenuity with artificial intelligence.
While investing and learning how to find true and secure investment opportunities, I wrote a book called Hyper Growth - How to Connect to Customers in New Ways..
Through this journey, I met and unfortunately, did transactions with some of the most sophisticated con artists. Since then, I have discovered the power of developing and combining character checking as part of our background check with a potential investment partner. Today, I use relationships with former FBI, CIA and other government agencies as well as an artificial intelligence service to help us with conduct background and document checks, and hence why we call ourselves Line of Credit. AI.
I've now dedicated my life to helping experienced investors with entrepreneurial projects to get the funding they need to cause employment, innovation, and help the planet to become a better place to be.
But my most significant accomplishments are not at work. They are in my home. I'm happily married to my beautiful wife, Anitra, for over 12 years, and we have a wonderful daughter called Avea.
In my personal time, I enjoy mixed martial arts, hanging out with friends, travel, and participate in various leadership development opportunities.
If I resonate with who you are, I welcome an opportunity of getting to know you.
