My Story
Over the past 10+ years, options trading has become more than a skill for me — it's a genuine passion. It's the closest thing to true financial independence I've found: a real second income, generated from anywhere in the world, where every result — win or loss — is 100% yours. No one else's hands on the wheel.
What still gets me, even after a decade, is how fast it moves. Look at a chart for a few seconds and you can have a real read on where a stock is likely headed — without knowing anything else about the company. That's the part that never stopped feeling like magic to me.

Options are fast. Fast wins, fast losses — and yes, more complex than simply buying a stock. But once the concept clicks, the payoff is unlike anything else: better, faster results, with far less capital required than owning shares outright. The real skill isn't chasing every trade — it's protecting your capital before you ever take a big loss.
A few years ago, I started thinking seriously about how to actually share what I've learned. Not another YouTube channel. Not someone else's app I had to bend my process around. I wanted to build the tool exactly the way I'd want it — the one that helps me make the best decision before I ever place a trade.
So I built X-15. A place where you see exactly what I see. Where every trade you place gets logged, so your performance record tells you the truth about how you're actually doing. And where I teach you, step by step, the exact way I think about options — because that's just as much a part of this as the tool itself.
This isn't a signals service. It's not a YouTube course. It's the instrument panel I built for myself — and now, for a small group of people serious enough to use it right.
About Me
Options trading is one of my passions, but it's not all of who I am.
I'm an entrepreneur and a Senior Marketing Strategist by trade — someone who's spent a career figuring out how to build things people actually want, and how to explain them clearly. I'm also a private pilot, which you'll notice threads through everything about X-15 — the Copilot, the FBO, the way I think about checklists and discipline before ever committing to a trade.
Outside the markets and the cockpit, I'm happiest with an engine under me — motorcycles, motocross, snowmobiling — chasing the same kind of focus you need in a fast-moving trade. Daily workouts keep me sharp; discipline isn't just a trading principle for me, it's how I try to live.
None of this happens alone. I'm lucky to be surrounded by great business partners and friends who've helped shape X-15 into what it is, and by a wife who supports every one of my crazy adventures — whether that's a new business, a new bike, or another wild idea I couldn't talk myself out of.
X-15 is the place where all of that comes together: discipline, speed, precision, and a genuine passion for helping people get better at something I love.
What Is X-15?

Named after the fastest crewed aircraft in history — the North American X-15 — flown to Mach 6.7 in 1967, a record that stands nearly 60 years later. It took extraordinary precision and discipline to fly, with zero room for error.
That's the standard I built this platform around. X-15 is a registered trademark, protected in Canada and the United States.
My Mission
To give any individual a genuine second income opportunity — one built on discipline, preparation, and real skill, not luck. Options trading offers something few paths to extra income do: the ability to control real capital efficiently, generate results relatively quickly, and do it all from anywhere in the world. But speed cuts both ways. Done without discipline, it can hurt you as fast as it can reward you. My mission with X-15 is to give you the tools, the education, and the process to tilt those odds in your favor — protecting your capital first, so the wins can actually compound over time.
