The Story
My passion for entrepreneurship, technology and education started when I was just a kid. By the time I was 15 I had already started three businesses: candy commercialization at school, newspaper recycling in my community and car washing for family and friends. I had also moved from Colombia (South America) to the U.S. to experience first-hand the American culture, something I was always curious about. Then I moved on to a knowledge based business, teaching English. And the rest as they say is history. I traveled the world, migrated to Australia, did 2 MBAs and started all the startups listed below. I also speak three languages (English, Spanish and Portuguese), have been to over 60 cities in 14 countries & 4 continents and have also lived in Colombia, Mexico, USA and Australia (my home). I'm Colombian and also Australian.
