During the 30+ year span of his entrepreneurial career, Jude has successfully overcome many trials and tribulations. One of his proudest feats has been beating a personal gambling addiction and successfully exiting the most recent recession without losing one property. The Great Recession left him in constant litigation which most individuals would crumble under, yet, he pushed through. Another notable curveball was the Dot-Com bubble burst, which left many day traders at a complete loss. Jude’s resilience got him through all of these along with some other personal challenges that at times brought him to the brink of insolvency. Yet, with all these adversities, his resilience has brought him to a place of prosperity.

Jude’s true passion has always been his community service. His first taste of the joy of giving back occurred during his college years, after he pledged to the fraternity of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. In recent years, Jude has shared his wealth of information and personal experience to local schools & community organizations to help others avoid the mistakes he has made and successfully navigate their own financial freedom.
