Born in Seward, Nebraska to a third-generation farmer, I was taught quickly what “working for your money” meant. Through thick and thin, there’s always been family to lean on. That sense of safety and community is exactly what I’m trying to build with RexNation.

Throughout middle school, I was always known as the “athletic kid.” Going into my Freshman year, I tore my ACL, MCL, LCL, and meniscus in my right knee. A year later, I tore my ACL and MCL again in my right knee. After recovering from that, I tore my ACL and meniscus in my left knee.  Fortunately, my teammates and coaches stuck by my side through it all during my senior year.

These experiences allowed me to see how God’s plan can be totally different than what people want that plan to be and taught me to have drive and perseverance.

Born in Seward, Nebraska to a third-generation farmer, I was taught quickly what “working for your money” meant. Started in 1935, Rex Briggs, my great grandfather, started a cattle business during one of the hardest economic times ever seen to man. As the family business expanded into row crop farming, the business was forced to sell thousands of head of cattle in order to keep the business afloat during the farming crisis of the 1980s. Through thick and thin, there’s always been family to lean on. That sense of safety and community is exactly what I’m trying to build with RexNation.

Throughout middle school, I was always known as the “athletic kid.” Going into high school I had dreams of being a state champion in both basketball and football, then moving on to college to play either or both sports. Going into my Freshman year, I tore my ACL, MCL, LCL, and meniscus in my right knee. This was about a 10-month recovery before being able to compete again. About 2 months after resuming competition, I tore my ACL and MCL again in my right knee. I was forced to complete a strenuous rehab program for the second time. At this point, I lost all confidence and wasn’t near as athletic as I once was. However, I still made an effort to play and support my teammates and friends. Come another two months, I tore my ACL and meniscus in my left knee. I was devastated. Fortunately, I was able to support my teammates and coaches who stuck by my side through it all during my senior year.

These experiences allowed me to see how God’s plan can be totally different than what people want that plan to be. These experiences taught me to have the drive and perseverance I show today in the stock market and my YouTube channel. I was forced to climb a mountain, just to fall down and do it again 2 more times. There was no better lesson that could be learned, and I’m reaping the benefits today.
