Heading 1
I grew up in a 1,500-person French Village in rural Quebec where Hockey rules everything. No Network. No Blueprint. Just pure, unadulterated obsession.
By 17, while my peers were coasting, my roommate and I launched our own business.
By 19, I engineered my way into an English university- forcing myself to master the language of global business on the fly.
Chasing discomfort is the only thing I know
I don’t know how to lose. If I get into something, I dominate it.
I competed in three entirely different sports, adapting to completely distinct physical and mental frameworks.
I have competed in province-wise championship in Soccer (x2), Hockey, and been finalist in the Karate Championship of Quebec.
I never cared that much about academic excellence, because to me, grades were never a real-life metric.
Institutions couldn’t hold my focus, sports were my #1 thing
At 19, I cut all safety nets. I packed a bag and moved to Toronto entirely alone to embed myself in the financial heart of the country.
One of hundreds, after completing my internship, I was selected as Intern of the Summer by BMO for the entire Province of Quebec.
I absorbed the machinery of institutional finance, saw the friction, and then realized TradFi rails are obsolete.
