Since 1983 I’ve been fascinated with financial markets’ incredible complexity, which led me to a degree in finance. I’ve always had a passion for the complexity of mathematics due to a life-threatening illness when I was young that led me to be confined indoors. Coming from a long line of inventors, I have made many original contributions to mathematics since the age of 11, including the reconceptualization of set theory which led me to attain an actuarial scholarship.
Sixteen years ago, I wrote a book on Advances in Technical and Fundamental Analysis through one of America’s top-tier academic publishers.
A love of mathematics
My love for mathematics and sharing attracted me to teaching, and I was a lecturer and examiner in first and second-year statistics, where I taught students to love mathematics and not be afraid of it using simple examples and relatable stories.
The majority of my professional career was as a Senior Management Consultant and Trusted Advisor to multibillion-dollar corporations implementing cutting-edge technologies and processes to improve productivity and share price. I’ve read widely on finance, mindfulness, psychology, technology, invention, innovation, productivity, leadership and have been surrounded by senior executives who also had a passion for the financial markets outside their everyday work, as is the case with all high net worth individuals. I've held senior management (National President of the Knowledge Management Consortium) positions and Board positions overseas. I was the former Chairman of the International Intangible Management Standards Institute for many years, where I was a keynote speaker in hundreds of conferences and traveled the world. I’ve also published several other books.
A love of computers
I have a strong IT background, having been fascinated with computers since a young age. I owned an Internet service provider in 1993, I understand what happened to the Internet industry as it was born, and the same things are happening to crypto right now. I have a deep understanding of disruptive technology, finance, trading, institutional focus, and psychology, giving me a unique edge in the crypto market.
A love of psychology
Four significant factors shaped my life my mother, who was an accountant (money); my father, who was a senior executive in government (power); my sister, who worked in medicine (caring); and my grandmother, who was a deeply religious woman (integrity and kindness). I combine all these factors in the master class.
Why I started the YouTube channel and am releasing the masterclass.
In 2016, 3 months after my beloved sister died of cancer, I was diagnosed with brain cancer and given one month to live and three months to my body died. Three operations later, I survived, but it profoundly changed how I looked at life. In 2020, I was hospitalized in a high-care unit for a week at the same hospital. I thought to myself, what if I died with all this knowledge inside me that has taken decades and millions of dollars to acquire and others could not benefit from it? I also wanted to find a way to strengthen the love between family members and give them a way of coping with stress, loss, and anxiety. Above all, I wanted to do something to assist others to be more of a financial blessing to themselves and those they loved. Shortly after that, I started the CryptoTradingKSYouTube channel with that mission.
This master class results from the countless requests over numerous months by the CryptoTradingKS community to dive deeper into the foundations and share my 30+ years of experience. An overwhelming number of viewers reached out to me for personal mentoring and guidance; hence the Master Class was born to share my knowledge, tools, secrets, rules, and different thinking. As I found in lecturing statistics, people fail when they do not have solid knowledge foundations. People with strong knowledge foundations can accomplish excellent results. The only way to create strong knowledge foundations was to develop a systematic method of learning that is why this master class exists.
