At 17, he was alone—his family gone, his father in jail, and a deportation order threatening his future. With just $250 in his pocket, he worked grueling 50-60 hour weeks in a scrap metal yard, saving every dollar to fight for his legal status.
After a long battle, he won his case but faced another setback—getting kicked out of engineering school. Instead of giving up, he pivoted to business school, where an idea changed his life. Partnering with a friend, he co-founded MParts, a company specializing in parting out high-performance M cars. What started with student loan money and a rented apartment turned into a multi-location business, scaling beyond what he ever imagined.
This is the raw, unfiltered story of resilience, hustle, and building an empire from nothing. If you’ve ever faced adversity, this episode is for you.

- How to turn setbacks into opportunities
- The power of niching down in business
- How he scaled from a garage operation to a multi-location business
