Hey hey! I'm Adam!
I'm 36 and live in Salt Lake City, UT. I have way too many goals, overshare my net worth and love to program.
I've spent the last decade teaching programmers how to program.
Now I help millennials invest to reach financial independence sooner than they ever thought possible.
Want to see what you could do to reach FI sooner? You’re in the right place!
