Thomas Washington Jr. (TJ) is a Boston Native who grew up in a large part of the city called Jamaica Plain. The young CEO spent his early years watching many of the people in the area struggle due to the high poverty and crime rates. Rather than following similar paths as the locals and peers, Washington used his experiences as motivation to help change the circumstances in his neighborhood. He had always played mock investment games with his mentor, Dr. Joseph Warren, a Northeastern professor, which inspired him to learn more about economics. As Washington entered his adult years and gained more knowledge on these topics, he recognized a large part of the problem in his community was the lack of resources for learning to become financially literate.
Washington attended a small private school known as Merrimack college where he finished with honors; He graduated with a Bachelors of science in business administration. As an undergraduate, he spent his weeks working as a Bank Teller at TD Bank, where he achieved the top sales in credit cards in the entire region for TD Banks, pacing at 2,000%. In 2015, Washington took a position at Putnam investments as an investor service representative, providing information about their company's mutual fund products to individual investors, broker/dealers, and financial advisors; During his time there, he gained experience dealing with Traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, 529 Plans, individual non-retirement investment accounts and more.
First semester of senior year of college, Washington was selected to be a part of an elite group that was handpicked from State Street Corp called its Future Focus group. As a member of this group, he worked as a high level functional specialist. Following the completion of his degree, Washington moved on to gain experience in corporate finance at State Street Corp; there he learned more key principles of investing, dealing with stocks and bonds, mutual funds, ETFs, Swaps, Options and other derivatives.
With years of mastery in the finance and marketing fields, the young CEO decided it was time to apply the knowledge he gained in a new area of focus. Understanding the fundamentals of economics and personal finance, and recognizing the need for more fiscal instructions in communities similar to his childhood one, Washington created True Mastermind in hopes to bridge the wealth gap. By combining skills in sales, marketing, technology, over 14 years of investment experience, and financial education, True Mastermind has helped over 200 people maintain a consistent income through investments and trading since 2018 (most free of charge before officially launching True Mastermind in 2020). He has courses on options trading, value investing, credit building, technical analysis, and wrote a book on the introduction to the stock market and secret strategies he came up with. His ultimate goal is to help millions work towards financial freedom. In 2005, Dr. Kennedy Ndamba got an opportunity to come to the United States of America with his family, thanks to the bravery of his single mother of five who made this dream come true. It was a dream come true to reach the land Dr. Ndamba once envisioned as his heaven on earth. Dr. Ndamba was born in a small village in Uganda, Africa. He recalls his experience "Growing up we were very poor, so poor that some nights I went to sleep hungry. We survived off one meal a day. My earlier years of schooling I had one uniform and for shoes, well I had none." Ever since his arrival to the United States of America, he has had one mission, which is to reach financial freedom, retire his mom and live his "American Dream," In 2014, Dr. Ndamba graduated from Merrimack College with two honorary degrees; (1) Sports Medicine and (2) Public and Professional Writing. He was the commencement speaker for his 2014 graduating class, where he shared a stage with movie superstar Charlie Day. In 2017, he graduated with a doctorate degree in physical therapy from Husson University. He currently lives in Framingham, MA and happily practices as a home physical therapist taking care of our veterans and elders, a career he loves and enjoys very much. In 2019, he founded Keka Services, Inc an online retail store focused on revolutionizing the medical equipment world. He loves serving his community and teaching them ways they can bridge the wealth gap. He believes financial freedom is possible if we equip ourselves with the right knowledge and share our resources. Dr. Ndamba says, "They can take away our resources, but they can never take away our intellectual property." He has co-founded youth non-profit organizations intended to inspire and empower all youth to maximize their capabilities, community investment groups to build generational wealth, and a community soccer team to empower more youth through their talents. In his spare time he enjoys reading/writing, investing, playing soccer and fitness.
