This is my short story...... XFactor Networks - CEO Reaching For The Stars & You!

For those of you who don’t know me. Here is my short story and what I’m praying to find upon sharing; in my hopes to finding someone or many that believe in me, and in what I’m trying to accomplish for everyone involved that I can share my vision and blessings with. This is so out of my comfort zone, as I never spoke of my childhood struggles publicly until now. Though life wasn’t a cake walk; I just never wanted to let that be an excuse to what I could achieve if I only tried my heart out.

About me? Well, for starters, I grew up never knowing my real father, raised by a single mother, my best friend, who played both Mom & Dad most of my childhood growing up. A mother who lost her child, my brother (at 6mths) at the age of 5yrs old. Her succumbing to a rough upbringing herself, died at the young age of 54 from a brain aneurysm, 2mths after experiencing the birth of my 1st child, in the mist of trying to manage the release of a new product & team to the general market for Hosted Voice & Cloud Firewall, which turned into a successful launch. Talk about a range of emotions and responsibilities at that time. I come from humble beginnings, value all that I was blessed with and always tried to remain humble as I matured. My roots were planted right across the street from the West Mesa, AZ neighborhood projects, which of course wasn’t easy growing up in as a young Latino boy. Realizing this, my mother, whom I get my ambitions from, envisioned a better life for me and for us, and thus moved us to East Mesa, to finish my Jr High and (with a 3yr H.S. stop in Miami, FL 9th-11th) H.S. Sr Yr in as well. Though I played baseball since I was 5yrs old and had aspirations of making it to the major leagues, I unfortunately finished my education with a GED and diminished my chances at making it there, due to lost time and injuries. However, the environments I grew up around, the diversities that they displayed and accepted me in, made me appreciate all walks of life and embraced many that I still call my true friends today.

So, as soon as I knew baseball was no longer in my future, I completely focused and dedicated my heart, mind and soul into the technology that I was blessed with knowledge in, and been given my opportunity to grow in as well. As noted, a degree or prestigious certifications weren’t in my path; nor did I feel that it was the visionary route or validation to a successful career or monumental achievements that foresaw for myself. I felt it was all laid out by the Lord, and at the hands of my self-taught ambitions to seek technological knowledge and motivations to reach new heights that teachers told me I could achieve and believed in when I was a child and young man growing up. The gifts that I began to realize I was blessed with, came as I grew into a Hosted Voice & Cloud Firewall Mgr position. How thereafter I was able to envision things, forecast products and customer wants, and see the way businesses functioned from A to Z. Though to do so, I had to ensure I was a master of my craft, whether it be in business groups I communicated daily with, technology roles I had opportunities to flourish in, such as Transport (circuit layers), data (data protocols) or voice services (voice protocols). I knew I had to minutely study their crafts and apply it to my own collective repertoire. I realized just like my days of playing sports, I had to be student of the game, to be able to be coached, then take on a leadership role of my own when I felt I was ready. Although I’ll never say I’m ready; no one ever is, but I’ll say I’m ready to learn more in a CEO leadership role, and hopefully apply all that I have learned and strived so hard for, so that others benefit from my experiences in life and in my career.

Recently, this drive led me to discover and issued a US patented technology, to which I had to litigate through over the past 6yrs; in order to claim my full rightful ownership and 1st named inventorship rights in. A technology that others are starting to take notice of in world of automation, domestically and globally. They call it Orchestration, Zero Touch Provisioning and or Automation of Customer Premises Equip (AKA: Routers & Switches). As my patent was being driven, I knew I had to season myself in areas of business (in order to leverage the patent as part of a go to market business model), that would enable me to run a company, understand all the logistics to building the relationships I’d require to be supported and successful in; as well as acquire the vested partners that I’d need, in order to change the game of Managed Service delivery and support models that typically exist today.

At this point, I and we (those who have freely dedicated their personal time & efforts to my cause) know we can’t do it alone, can’t afford the marketing, code development and staffing help we desperately need to be a major tech company in the telecom and networking space. Therefore, I thought why not reach out to the people I know in industry that have given me so much support in. I and we are in need of a major partner who supports our vision for the technology today, and also further supports what I currently have in development (continuation in part - pending child patent) in the near future as well. Genuine relationships are hard to find, so I’m hoping through these means, I’ll find that one, or a couple partners that share my vision. As our mission is to provide the best technological offering(s) in the market today, a support and service model that our channel partners value; and lastly, the ultimate company destination and atmosphere that everyone enjoys to be a part of and embraces; as we accept all walks of life that help us all to succeed and achieve the best things that life has to offer.

This is me and what I hope to accomplish. And hopefully, along the way I can inspire folks to never give up on their dreams and keep reaching for the stars, because one day, even if you miss the star you aimed for, you'll at least fall amongst them. Stay safe, healthy and blessed my friends.....
