I am 44 years old and live in Panama with my wife and 3 kids.
I grew up in Northern California, graduated from UCSD, and spent the first part of my career in financial services.
I have been building a HoldCo, Alternative Holdings (AH), with my partner since 2011.
We now have two separate HoldCos, one operates in Panama and the other in the USA.
We operate in 5 different industries:
Industrial Distribution
Business Process Outsourcing
Restaurants
Furniture Retail
Heating and HVAC Distribution
5. We currently have around 1,000 employees and over $100m in revenue.
6. Aside from business, I like to read (a lot), travel (whenever I can get away), and do physical activities.
7. I write what I feel and know from personal experience, hoping it adds value. Sometimes they resonate with people, and sometimes they fall flat.
Bonus note if you got this far: I am a 4-time national champion in Freediving and the longest I have held my breath (in practice) was 5 minutes.
