About Me
I hold a B.S. in Economics from Florida State University and a MBA from Nova Southeastern University. I have over 30 years experience in investing in stocks, commodities, and most recently cryptocurriences. I spent a brief stint on Wall Street where I learned some valuable lessons. My strong faith in God, my love of country, and strong desire to help others, has lead me to create and promote MonieStorm.
