The more twists and turns I read about in the stock market these days, the more I am reminded about my entrance into investing. I was just 22-years-old, a tanned surfer just out of California State University looking to hook into the American dream. My first investment was in a little four-plex in California. Even though I had a degree, I didn’t have much money or experience, nor did I have a true understanding of investing. Still, I took the plunge and I’ve never regretted it for one second.

The decision to invest gave me enough footing to start my journey through a wonderful and productive life. From that moment on I have been captivated by this industry and what it has offered me: wealth, happiness and plenty of stimulation. I am living the American Dream.

Leading up to creating NEXREGEN, I often think back to the days when I invested in that four-plex. It was the foundation for opening the door of opportunity to all who think investing is only for the rich and privileged. It is not. NEXREGEN is proof.
