Versatile Professional in Health, Investments & Customer Service

About Rudy Galan

Early Reflections and Inclinations
Early in my life, I was taught that gaining knowledge through school was essential. Having played sports my entire life, I was naturally drawn to the health field.
Educational Path and Goals
From community college to university, I earned over 150 credits in chemistry, biology, exercise science, and even some coding, all with the goal of becoming a doctor to make the world a better place.
Realizations and Decisions
However, towards the end of my college years, I realized that the point of life is happiness, which comes not just from achieving goals but from the struggle and effort involved. Ironically, college taught me how to learn independently. So, I asked myself if I really wanted to spend the next 10 years in medical school, financially strained and potentially unhappy. The answer was no. I stopped studying for the MCAT, let my mind explore other possibilities, and decided that with my strong work ethic, I can learn anything on my own.

Highly Motivated

Individual with a diverse background in health, education, investing, and customer service.

Creativity Meets Logic

Throughout this whole journey, I was bartending for 13 years. Reading psychology, practicing it on clients—becoming the top-selling bartender wherever I went. This built many unmeasurable skills like the newfound ‘soft skills’ everyone spoke of—because without them, I’d go broke.
I’ve never been the traditional type who wanted to work the 9-5; I’d rather have unlimited upside. Building connections, making money, sharpening my skills, making the most of my time—which many 9-5 jobs didn’t pay the premium for.
Through this time, I also was a nutrition coach & personal trainer as I had come damn close to becoming so sufficient in those realms that I could do it in my sleep. There was one problem: so many skills—and only one of me.

Without a traditional foundation or resources, I’ve built my own path, a testament to my resourcefulness and determination.

Balancing these professional and personal challenges has shaped me into someone who thrives under pressure and embraces growth. As I move forward, I’m eager to leverage this unique blend of experiences and qualities to tackle new opportunities and create a lasting impact.
