Summary: How I went from a Video Game Addict to becoming an Entrepreneur who almost died but as a result started hitting $100,000+ months by 19 Years old.
By 7th grade I decided f*ck school
But I didn't know what to do...
So I started the Entrepreneur Club.
My strategy was to reach out to millionaires & invite them to come teach our club once a month after school in exchange for free pizza.
It worked & we quickly became the largest club in our school.

So I started the Entrepreneur Club.
My strategy was to reach out to millionaires & invite them to come teach our club once a month after school in exchange for free pizza.
It worked & we quickly became the largest club in our school.
I just kept learning & trying new things.
And as a result after multiple failed ideas I finally was on to something during my senior year of highschool where I ended up breaking up with my first serious girlfriend, lost all of my friends, & changed schools which allowed me to go all in on my new venture.
1 client turned into 2 then 3 & so on...
My first successful company Shiner Marketing was born & within 8 months of starting my team & I managed to make over 6 Figures & I was making more than all of my teachers combined.
I graduated highschool, never having a job, never having a boss, & I applied to 0 colleges.
At 18 years old
I had finally became an entrepreneur!
But then, I had a meeting with death...
Within 6 months, I began loosing my vision, having muscle spams, & my weight rapidly dropped from 140lbs down to 112lbs.
I ended up in ICU where Doctors implanted 2 IV’s one in each arm. Nurses were putting shots into my stomach & withdrew blood from my veins every hour to run tests trying to prevent me from having a coma & dying.
The same day before I was put in the hospital I had taken my girlfriend Alyssa out to grab a burger. In the morning I weighed myself and had reached an all time low of 112lbs. My kneecaps were poking out, my eye sockets were sucken in & I looked like a skeleton. Low energy was the new normal despite eating like I always had. Our juicy burgers arrived & we were both ready to chow down, I took a single bite.
At that moment I immediately felt a change in my body. My appetite completely vanished & I felt acid in my stomach surfacing. We stopped by my parents house so I could take a nap on the couch.
If it wasn't for my mom rushing me to the emergency room despite me begging her to "just let me sleep" I wouldn't be writing this, I would be dead.
I was diagnosed with T1D which is currently an incurable disease & when left untreated, it slowly strips the body from nutrients, resulting in death.
The discipline, perspective, focus, & sheer gratitude to be alive that I gained from learning to live with this deadly disease, launched my entrepreneurial career even further.
1 month later after being released from the hospital. I had more than doubled Shiner Marketing's profit.
7 months later I had brought my diagnosed A1C a 15.6% which is considered a suicidal level down to a healthy A1C below 5.7%.
9 months later at the time of writing this through business & investments, I've managed to make over $200,000/month worth of profit at 19 years old.
And now I'm bringing Entrepreneur Club
back to life in order to provide an alternative to college & pave out a clear path to success for those who also have the same dreams of becoming an entrepreneur like I did back in 7th grade.
