3+ years in the stock market, consistently outperforming the market

Los Angeles, California

I am a passionate investor who has spent the past three years immersed in the stock market. In high school, I founded the Youth Investing Club, which became the inspiration for the website you are on right now. Through careful research and individual stock picking, I have consistently outperformed the market.

Why I Mentor

My second greatest passion is teaching, which I learned from starting a club in high school. I also realized that most of my peers had a very small understanding of basic investing principles. My mission is to make sure that my generation is able to maximize their wealth potential. Now, at 17 years old and in my first year of college, I remain dedicated to helping others learn and succeed in investing.
