Jayden is currently a first-year student at Vanderbilt University studying Economics and Applied Mathematics with a minor in Data Science. His childhood was filled with change. Originally born in New York, Jayden was faced with a move across the country to Los Angeles and again to Florida just 5 years later. However, Jayden describes these moves as a catalyst that made him more adaptable to change, a vital skill that has proved resourceful throughout his life. The one constant, however, was media. He recalls morning car rides to school were filled with news stations rather than music, sparking his interest in markets. As time progressed, so did his interest. He began reading up on the market as well as keeping up with price movements. After garnering enough knowledge, he invested in the Spotify IPO and gained control over his portfolio. 

Prior to developing TheStockZone, Jayden participated in The Young Entrepreneurs Academy (YEA!), working closely with local business leaders to explore business ideas, prepare a business plan, and present to a panel of investors. He secured an initial investment and molded his idea for on-demand online math tutoring into themathzone.com, a peer tutoring website run by Mu Alpha Theta at Rosenblatt High School. There, He founded the Financial Investment and Management Club and co-founded the DKJA Signature Business Program, sitting as President and Chair for both. Later, he founded TheStockZone, an informational investing website, as a way to better understand markets himself while simultaneously helping and teaching aspiring financial students. 

Jayden lives by a saying once vocalized by Benjamin Franklin: “The best investment is in the tools of one’s own trade.” Today, he remains heavily involved in his local community. At Vanderbilt, he is currently involved in numerous student organizations, including Vanderbilt Blockchain, Scholars of Finance, and the Financial Modeling Club. He manages a nonprofit organization, Technology 4 All, Inc., that aims to bridge the digital divide in the education sector by connecting with local and international schools to incite change.
