"Engineer"
I started out my “real world” career as an Electrical/Robotics Engineer. I worked for a robot manufacturer Yushin in RI and then went on to join the team at Canon building manufacturing lines.
"Founder"
I quit my job and moved to Tampa to attend USF for Grad school. I started an equipment brokerage in July 2012 and have been running it ever since.Â
I was Troubled
All the adventure and accomplishments still couldn't bring me peace. I was still searching for my purpose.
Running on EGO
I spent much of my life chasing accolades trying to convince everyone that I wasn't a nobody, that I wasn't someone who had been diagnosed with a Mental Illness or worse; “CRAZY”.
(pictured, an award I self-nominated myself for..)
Until one day it stopped working
I had crashed and burned enough times to make me realize I could no longer run on EGO. I was tired of wearing the mask that showed the world that everything was ok…
My secret was out
So I got on stage and told the world “my deep dark secret”. I decided that no matter how people reacted, I could no longer live this lie, this diagnosis that had been running my life for 17years.
