Before this chapter of my life, I was battling addiction, stuck in a cycle that nearly broke me. I was overweight, undisciplined, and drifting. My turning point came in El Salvador—far from everything I knew—where I found God, clarity, and the courage to rebuild. That moment wasn’t some dramatic movie scene. It was quiet, humbling. Just me, a Bible, and the realization that if I didn’t change everything, I’d lose everything. I started rebuilding—mind, body, spirit. I took control of my health, my habits, and eventually my mission. That’s how House of J was born. Not just a business, but a blueprint for others who want to rise from rock bottom and build a powerful life with purpose.

I am currently taking the necessary steps to move to the United States to expand the ViEtRis technique in the United States. This will allow Americans to deactivate the trauma of millions of people in two days of training.

Our Memories in Motion was created in 2007 but the story starts long before. I had a cousin who was always into technology. If there was something new in the tech world he had it. He introduced me to the world of video editing and slide show creation. Unfortunately, we lost my cousin to AIDS and I decided to continue his legacy of video editing and the rest is history. I started Our Memories in Motion just doing slide shows for family and friends and progressed to converting VHS tapes. I started getting asked if I did cassette tapes and records and the services kept growing. The next logical step was to get a website and being the frugal person I am, I decided to research website design. I fell in love with designing my website so I started offering this service to local businesses as well.

Today, I want to work with NFL football teams to compete alongside them. Joining forces with the Las Vegas Raiders would be a real pleasure.

Before launching TechStart.ai, I worked with innovative tech companies like Uber and Instawork, gaining insight into the transformative power technology holds for individuals and businesses. The pivotal moment came when I saw how many talented people—especially those facing unique life challenges—struggled to access economic opportunities due to a lack of tech skills. That realization sparked a passion to create a platform where technology could empower everyday heroes to thrive economically.

I understand the critical importance of housing stability firsthand. Growing up in the foster care system taught me just how fundamental safe, stable housing is to a child's well-being. Even after being adopted, those early experiences of housing insecurity shaped my understanding of how deeply housing impacts every aspect of life. The real turning point in my career came during my work with non-profits, connecting renters who had housing vouchers to community housing options. I noticed a disturbing pattern: 6 out of 10 of my clients were losing their housing within just six months, even though their rent was covered. This revealed a critical gap in the system – having rent assistance wasn't enough. What we needed was a solution that would work for both residents and housing providers. While pursuing my Master of Social Work at Metropolitan State University, I began envisioning a different approach. Instead of the traditional landlord-tenant dynamic, what if we could create a model where everyone wins? This led me to launch B-Konnected in 2018, using my student loans as seed funding. Our Resident Success™ certification and accelerator program transforms how properties approach housing stability. We help housing providers reduce turnover by up to 88% while improving residents' lives. Through real-time data collection and analysis, we offer concrete insights that benefit both sides: residents get the support they need to maintain stable housing, while properties see dramatic cost reductions and increased operational efficiency. By 2022, this win-win approach had proven so successful that we launched Konnected Technologies Inc. Today, we're not just helping people get housed – we're helping them stay housed while helping properties thrive. Our model has helped secure over $30 million in housing rewards for our partners while achieving an 88% housing stability rate. What makes me most proud is that we're redefining housing relationships. We're showing that when you invest in resident success, everybody benefits – properties see better returns, residents achieve stability, and communities grow stronger. That's the kind of transformation I wished for as a child in the system, and it's what drives our innovation at B-Konnected every day.
