25+ years of building businesses, learning, and creating opportunities
My journey has been anything but linear. I've jumped between industries, learned from failures, and built success through direct experience rather than following traditional paths.
I grew up in a family that owned a company that supplied sunglasses worldwide. As a kid, I was climbing boxes in warehouses, learning about common work tools, and understanding the fundamentals of global supply chains from the ground up.
Real experience beats theoretical knowledge every time. You can't learn to swim by reading about water, but you can learn to code from reading a textbook.
At just 12 years old, I was already selling my own products on eBay. This wasn't through formal education, but through direct experience and hands-on learning. I discovered the wholesale world much earlier than most, learning how to source products, negotiate deals, and understand the entire supply chain from manufacturer to end consumer.
At least until PayPal found out I wasn't 18 and there were issues accepting funds. I continued to sell my merchandise at local flea markets in Central Florida.
Realized that most businesses were paying retail prices for products they could get wholesale. This insight became the foundation of everything I do today.
We still operate at Webster Farmers Market. Located at 281 N Market Blvd, Webster FL 33597 - Stop by and pickup some merchandise!
I spent years developing relationships with manufacturers in China. This wasn't about finding the cheapest products, but about finding the right partners who could deliver quality consistently. I learned the importance of face-to-face relationships in business.
I have worked with hundreds of Chinese suppliers and have always had the absolute best experiences. From product creation to simple transactions, I prefer to import merchandise from China over dealing with local suppliers.
Trust and relationships matter more than contracts. When you can look someone in the eye and shake their hand, business becomes personal.
I have been buying websites my whole life. I started acquiring domains not just as investments, but as strategic business assets. Each domain represents a potential business opportunity, a market niche, or a way to serve specific customer needs.
Currently, I'm displaying some sites I'm working on right now, showcasing the ongoing development and strategic use of my domain portfolio.
Domains are like digital real estate. Location matters, but so does what you build on that location.
I've been coding and learning about websites and website coding since I was a kid. My whole life. Early websites in 1998-2000 were personal blogs and fun tasks for my own entertainment.
Web development has been a constant throughout my life, from personal projects to professional tools.
I taught myself web development because I needed to build the tools I wanted to use. This led to creating the mint series of development sites - HTML, CSS, PHP, and successful development practices.
My technical expertise extends across databases, domain management, APIs, mobile applications, and more. I've built comprehensive solutions that integrate all these technologies to solve real business problems.
When you need something done right, sometimes you have to learn to do it yourself. This applies to coding, business, and life.
I developed sites in multiple languages (Spanish, French, Italian) because I realized that wholesale and business opportunities exist worldwide. Each culture has its own way of doing business, and I learned to adapt.
Business is universal, but communication is local. Understanding cultural differences in business practices is crucial for global success.
Today, I focus on creating the right atmosphere for businesses to succeed. This means providing the tools, connections, and opportunities that businesses need to grow. It's about being the bridge between problems and solutions.
I'm building the atmosphere your business needs - the connections, the products, the opportunities that create real results.
