A Message from Romulo
I was once a Wall Street executive, living a life of power and privilege. After bankruptcy stripped it all away, I found myself behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler, logging 400,000 miles across America just to make ends meet.
Now, as I rebuild my life, I’m writing a book that tells this honest and heartfelt “riches-to-rags” story. It’s a rare glimpse into two starkly different worlds—the opulence of Wall Street and the grit of blue-collar survival.
This is not your typical riches-to-rags story—my book is a deeply personal memoir that shares my journey with honesty and heart.
