A Bit About Me
“You have to be odd to be number one.”
I got excluded from two schools before I learned to manage my ADHD and autism. I also spent part of my childhood in the care system — one piece of my story, not the whole of it. I started making money young: washing cars, cutting lawns, editing videos. I wanted to be a YouTuber from age 13, and for a while I was, with real brand sponsors. At 17 I started my first business, The Cinemalist, doing social media and video work for other people.
“Be yourself so that the people looking for you can find you.”
At 18 I bought Nightingweb from Chema Perez, who built it in 2016. I have no formal qualifications, and a regular job has never worked for me. I'm open about past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and vaping — staying quiet does more damage than being honest. If I can do it, others can too. Now I'm building Introcard, a metal NFC business card for introductions that matter.
“There are two men in this world — the one who believes he can, and the one who believes he can't. They're both right.”
