With HSC results in the top 1% of the State, Aleks was granted early entry and a Scholarship to the University of Wollongong. He found university was not enough of a challenge, and decided to put his scholarship money onto the stock market instead of his text books.

Turning that money into a small fortune, Aleks decided to leave university after his 2nd year to chase bigger dreams.

Having unknowingly made this move right before the GFC market crash he not also saw his dreams shattered but ended up almost a quarter of a million in debt by the age of 20 - a far cry from where he had hoped.

After this initial setback, Aleks decided he had no choice but to work his way out of debt. He took a liking to Entrepreneurship and as a result, started his own direct sales company and by the age of 21 was managing a staff of over 35 people.

This early success led to his expansion into various other industries such as Renewable Energy, Health Clubs, App Development and Franchising.

Since that time, Aleks has been involved in a number of tech focused startups (see experience below), he’s been featured in publications such as Wealth Creator, The Age, Syd Morning Herald and been awarded as one of the Top 20 Young Entrepreneurs in Start Up Smart's "Future Makers" competition in 2011.

Being an Entrepreneur at heart, I’ve had my fair share of ups and downs finding out the true meaning of, “the best way to learn is by making mistakes”. 
I’m a firm believer in “Everything happens for a reason”, but that does not mean the path I’ve chosen has already been paved. 
I create my own opportunities with or without you and can evolve a beast from an eyes glimmer. I’ve got a variety of skills listed above, but that’s not all, the best is to come. 
I’m well versed in Block-Chain related tech and firmly believe in the disruptive nature of the beast.
