About

I'm Dek, a Finance student at Tulane University with a habit of building things on the side. I grew up in Las Vegas and came up as a decathlete, picking up the event freshman year of high school and committing fully to it from day one. The decathlon demanded something different from every practice: sprinting, jumping, and throwing. That combination of disciplines became the lens through which I approach most things.

After high school I spent a post-grad year training at IMG Academy, where I developed both as an athlete and as someone who understood what serious, structured preparation looks like. That work earned a Division I scholarship to compete at Tulane.

A back injury eventually took me off the track, but the competitive drive didn't go anywhere. I've shifted my focus to golf and triathlons, which I have to say are much more enjoyable.

On the academic and professional side, I concentrate in Finance and Entrepreneurship with an interest in real estate.
