While working in the technology space throughout the majority of his career, David began his journey toward the formation of Ingeniq Capital as the culmination of several years as a financial coach and educator. This journey started as a way to share his passion for financial techniques he had learned over the years, especially since there was so much incorrect (or partially correct) information circulating in the online communities he was involved in. As a lifelong learner, David always had a tendency to dig deeper into any topic or problem he encountered, so he began by offering a ‘retirement preparation bootcamp’ to teach people financial concepts and techniques. The bootcamp quickly gained popularity and David taught over 600 people in financial topics in a span of about 2 years. In order to keep the class size small, bootcamp registrations were held every few weeks.
Despite this success, David decided to discontinue the bootcamp courses, because of two main reasons: the students understood the concepts fine, but when trying to apply the concetps to their own situations, they were easily confused and often needed personalized help. The other problem was that simply teaching people the basics of personal finance took up a lot of time, but did not provide enough room for David to provide more advanced techniques and know-how. After some of the requisite soul-searching, David decided to venture into establishing Ingeniq Capital. Through Ingeniq Capital, David seeks to provide intelligent and thoughtful financial planning and advisory services.
David is bilingual in English and Korean, and interestingly has a graduate degree in ministry, which helps David to approach his clients with not just numbers in mind, but also with a heart toward genuinely helping his clients plan and live more fulfilling lives. David takes pride in keeping informed of the latest developments in finance and taxation and educating clients with personalized advice.
As principal and owner of Ingeniq Capital, David is fully licensed as a registered investment advisor representative and also holds the IRS Enrolled Agent designation.
