Story

I enlisted in the Marines at 18 because I was worried about college — couldn’t focus in high school. A family friend convinced me the Marines would be the right fit.

After serving, I became a UAS operator flying ScanEagle drones for Boeing’s Insitu subsidiary, deploying 6–8 months a year overseas supporting the Department of Defense.

Somewhere between deployments, I started building software. Nova Net Worth started as a personal project — I wanted to actually understand where my money was going.

Now it’s a real product with real users, and the goal is to make it self-sufficient so I can be home with my kids full-time.
