What I Do

Two companies. Same way of operating.

Both come from the same place... I've been the guy on the losing side of the table, figured out how the game actually works, and built a way to put people on the winning side.

Trading

Trading mindset & psychology coaching.

Most traders think their problem is their strategy. It usually isn't. TraderOS helps traders fix the identity and discipline problems that keep them inconsistent.

Background

Before TraderOS and Driv3Away.

I started out knocking doors, then spent 7+ years in auto sales at brands like Mercedes-Benz and Infiniti, and was named Salesperson of the Year in 2019.

Same year, I walked away to trade full-time. It took me three tries and over $47K in losses to get there lol... that part is exactly why I coach mindset now.
