No longer reserved for the ultra-wealthy, this strategy can be used to supercharge your retirement!

I was born in Kingston, Jamaica, and raised in Los Angeles, California in a single-parent household alongside my younger brother. In my early 20s, I attended Cal State Dominguez Hills, where I pursued criminal justice with the goal of giving back to my community as a probation officer or police officer. A couple of semesters later, however, I found myself at the Marine Corps recruiter’s office in Culver City. I went on to serve over eight years on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps, an experience that shaped my discipline, leadership, and commitment to service. During that time, I was introduced to the financial industry, and what started as an opportunity quickly became a passion. My wife and I realized the tremendous impact we could have by helping families strengthen their financial futures, and we decided to transition fully into the financial field. Today, as an Independent Licensed Financial Agent with GFI, I focus on educating families about protecting their assets from market losses, planning for retirement, building tax-free investments, and creating strategies for long-term financial stability. My mission is to help individuals, families, and businesses reduce debt, save more effectively, protect what matters most, and—most importantly—inspire them to dream again. At GFI, we represent one of the most unique companies in the industry, dedicated to serving the financial needs of families from all walks of life. Our culture is grounded in what we call the 5 F’s: Faith, Family, Finance, Fitness, and Fun. We believe in building strong leaders who not only guide others toward financial independence but also create fulfillment in their own lives. We partner with some of the most recognizable companies in the industry, giving us the ability to provide our clients with a wide range of solutions tailored to their goals. And because we are always growing, we’re looking for like-minded leaders who want to make an impact, build ownership in their careers, and help families achieve their milestones. The opportunity to grow with us is limitless, for those who want more than just a career, but a mission to serve, lead, and inspire.
