Redman

Jeff, also known as Red Man, was raised by a Marine and a veterinarian; individuals who shared a love for the outdoors and a deep connection to God. As a hardheaded child searching for his path in life, Jeff's journey took a turn in 2013 when he developed an interest in BTC. Despite lacking a technical background in computers and blockchain within his family and friends, he pursued a self-taught approach. Not inclined towards fraudulent activities, Jeff achieved certification as a (CCE) cryptocurrency expert from the blockchain council.

The years 2019-2020 proved financially significant for Jeff, as a profit of 10k on BTC fueled his growing fascination with blockchain technology. Eager to delve into the intricacies of this innovation, he aimed to leverage gains, establish a mining company, and contribute to community growth. Crypto became more than just a financial pursuit for Jeff; it provided a new identity and purpose, aligning with a desire to be part of something larger than himself.

Recognizing crypto's potential to shift power away from centralized entities, Jeff set a goal to master various facets of the crypto space, including HODLing, NFTs, trading, and media. His overarching mission was to assist those in his circle in achieving financial freedom from centralized banks. Grateful to influencers such as @CryptoBilly 111, @THE_BIOMEX, @crypto_pollo, and @JimmyJim, Jeff expresses thanks for the opportunity to be part of this team and eagerly anticipates continued learning and growth alongside them.

The BioMex

Tony Baeza, known as The Bionic Mexican (THE_BIOMEX), grew up in Far-West Texas as a "mut" by heart, immersed in a mixed Mexican American culture and family. A true country boy, he spent summers picking fruit and vegetables, all while gaining a unique blend of cultural influences. His early exposure to technology came from a forward-thinking grandfather who gifted him an IBM 3270 PC (IBM System Unit 5271) with a dot matrix printer, sparking his interest in coding and gaming.

A pivotal chapter in Tony's life unfolded when he became an exchange student in Bundaberg, Australia. This experience played a significant role in shaping his self-confidence and identity. Embracing sports like Rugby, Cricket, and football, he delved into a diverse cultural mix, surrounded by exchange students and British exchange parents in the laid-back Aussie Sugar Cane and Rum environment near the beach.

Following an enjoyable stint in college, Tony sought self-discipline in the U.S. Air Force, dedicating two years to training and developing proficiency in Chinese-Mandarin. His four years stationed in Hawaii marked a period of digital exploration, laying the foundation for expertise in systems and networks. The military schoolhouse became his platform to share knowledge, a journey driven by his grandfather's ethos of "grow where you are planted" and fostering an "always make things better" attitude.

Transitioning from the Air Force after over two decades, Tony's career path meandered through various roles, consistently integrating process improvement and data management. Notably, he played a pivotal role in establishing administrative systems for a roofing company, propelling them to achieve over $1 million in gross revenue within nine months.

Tony's foray into the world of cryptocurrency began thanks to a friend, Rene, whom he introduced to Bitcoin in 2016. In 2021, following Rene's reminder, Tony embraced the crypto space, experiencing success in flipping coins and exploring opportunities in Eth, Shib, and other ventures. His entry into the NFT space the following year brought challenges, but he persevered, learning the importance of "DYOR" (Do Your Own Research) and forming a reliable team and friendship network within the space.

Projects like DCA & SSS (Eth), Inmates (on Cardano blockchain), and Lazy Apes (Eth) left a profound impact on Tony due to their communities. Excitement surrounds the collaborative efforts of the group he is part of, where talents and strengths converge to move forward together. The Bionic Mexican, or THE_BIOMEX, continues to embrace new challenges and opportunities in his ever-evolving journey.

Jimmy Jim

Born and raised in Louisiana, and now proudly residing in Texas, Jimmy stands as the founding partner of CAMS Bluewire Technology. His journey began with a diverse range of early occupations, including managing a grocery store, working in warehouses, fixing automobiles, and even trying his hand at fence building – a testament to his strong work ethic. Remarkably, he acquired his first motorcycle at the tender age of 9, and his first computer came into his life at 10, sparking his lifelong fascination with technology. He attributes his knowledge and success to these two essential interests.

Jimmy's academic path was unconventional – he never pursued a college degree and barely graduated from high school. Nevertheless, he firmly believes that dedication and intelligence can pave the way to achievement for anyone.

From 1993 to 2001, his life revolved around motorcycle road racing across the United States. Achieving a Pro license was a significant milestone, but his racing career was cut short by two major crashes. It was during this time that he made the pivotal decision to return to his original passion – computers.

In 2002, he founded Bluewire Technology as a startup IT company, a venture that would later see him sell a controlling interest in 2008. To this day, he remains at the helm, steering the company to new heights. Under its rebranded name, CAMS Bluewire Technology, the company specializes in delivering cyber security and IT services to power generation facilities nationwide within the Energy sector.

Jimmy's foray into the world of cryptocurrency began in late 2020, and he astutely capitalized on the peak of the bull run. He has since played an integral role in collaborating with prominent figures in the crypto space, such as Sin City Crypto and Miss Teen Crypto, offering technical support and sponsorship for their shows.
