About Santiago
Hi, I’m Santiago! Thanks for checking out my personal page. My passion lies in investments, economics, and empowering people to make sound financial choices. My journey began in 2008 when I enlisted in the United States Marine Corps (The Few, The Proud!). After completing two tours in Afghanistan with Operation Enduring Freedom, I was honorably discharged in 2013 and set out to build a new career as a civilian. I envisioned doing one of two things: flying fighter jets or working in portfolio management.
I’ve always been committed to building wealth through practical, common-sense investing.
Following a 13-year drone piloting career, I knew I wanted to transfer my analytical and problem-solving skills into asset management. With this shift, I spent three years refining my investment strategies and, by 2023, began conducting full-time financial analysis. Today, I support professionals and family offices by analyzing and managing private market investments. This blog is my platform to share investment research and insights from my experiences as an investor, portfolio manager, and financial professional. Please note, all content here reflects my personal perspectives and is not intended as financial advice.
My mission is to empower professionals with the knowledge, tools, and resources to build wealth, live a stress free life, and unlock their full potential.
