Hi all!
My name is Davis and I'm a 23 year old in pursuit of something bigger.
I grew up under two Slowlaners as parents, each of whom now realizing the faults in their methods.
My mother gave me Rich Dad, Poor Dad to read when I was a freshman at university. Since then, I picked up The Millionaire Fastlane along with many other reads that are essential to a young entrepreneurial mind.
I received highest honors with a degree in Computer Science and a minor in Business Administration. I explored quite a bit throughout my studies, as I'm interested in just about every subject. Therefore, I find myself quite well-rounded and capable of many different paths in my life.
To help pay my way through college, I developed websites for local businesses and provided advice on business strategy. While this proved to be a positive experience and helped me gain important skills, I realize it is not a very scalable business long-term.
Now, I could take the skills I learned in software and become a well-paid engineer - and that's what most people in my life likely expect from me. Thankfully, I have two parents that are in support of me taking the risk to build a life out of entrepreneurial ventures instead.
Currently, I'm building an interactive educational website with a few of my friends that we hope can impact millions with free and highly valuable information.
While doing this, I'll continue working with local businesses to cover my expenses. Always a lot of work to be done, but I thoroughly enjoy what I'm doing - and to me that is whole reason I want to be an entrepreneur. I want the freedom to spend my time on projects I care about, without the pressure of monetary struggle. And although I may work twice as much as my peers now, at age 23, I know the pursuit will pay dividends down the road, granting me MUCH more freedom with my time.
In the future, I plan to run a wide variety of businesses. I have interest in developing internet companies, lifestyle companies, real estate, and eventually spreading my endeavors to my many interests via venture capitalism.
I have a lot to learn, and a long road ahead, but I'm beyond excited to see what I'm capable of.
Looking forward to sharing with you all here, as I hope it is a community that I can gain valuable insight and direction from.
Thanks!
