I grew up doing farm work in Texarkana, where Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana meet. Farm work is simple in a useful way: you show up early and you finish what you start.
I was also a serious fantasy nerd — the kid who disappeared into video games and fantasy novels for whole weekends. That never really wore off, and it's where the story with my co-founder begins.
In my twenties I taught at a university for a while. I liked it, but I kept wanting to build the thing instead of just explaining it.
I'm also a brother and an uncle — family taught me most of what I know about patience and showing up.
Mauricio Cano and I met as teenagers playing World of Warcraft. We were friends online for seven years before we met in person. In 2020 we started a company together: Legal Karma, built to make estate planning something normal families can actually afford.
The through-line from the farm to now is pretty simple — figure out what people actually need, then find an honest way to give it to them.
