Bio
*If we haven't met and you want to connect, please send me an InMail or a message with your connection request* I'm the founder and CEO of Newchip, a FinTech marketplace that is reinventing the global investment landscape. We bring new investment opportunities in emerging startups, real estate projects, and Pre-IPO companies to everyday Americans starting as low as $100. Utilizing machine learning, we cut through the noise to connect our users to investment opportunities based on their interest and preferences. My Background: Graduating high school at an early age, I joined the U.S. Army where I served as a soldier and missile defense engineer; operating, managing, and directing defense system implementation and weapons modernization. I've been honored and recognized by non-profits, congressmen, senators and U.S. Presidents. After leaving the service, I switched gears to pursue my interest in serving again in the civilian sector. I lobbied for disabled veterans programs at the capital as well as was appointed to serve in a number of Austin government roles to include: City Commissioner, Director of the University of Texas City Relations Agency, member of the Board of Directors for University Area Business Partners, and a member of the Mayor's Task Force. After a tragedy occurred on the UT Campus, I developed the concept and built the team that would become Campus Watch, a safety app for colleges and universities that uses emerging technology to drastically reduce the response time by campus and city police departments. Think Uber for safety services. Newchip was born out of a passion for investment finance and wanting to help entrepreneurs raise funding. Newchip promotes positive community and social entrepreneurship and has a goal to re-invest 10% of our profits back into entrepreneurs in the developing world.
