Jacob Morrison

Round Rock

Summary

Relentless, fast-learning professional based in the Austin, TX area with a deep interest in budgeting, risk assessment, and financial systems. I’ve spent the last two years trading futures and building my own financial strategies through coding and technical analysis, which sharpened my discipline and attention to detail. My background as a UPS supervisor taught me how to lead under pressure, communicate clearly, and always show up 100%. I don’t have the fanciest credentials, but I make up for it with grit, heart, and an obsession with learning. I will do whatever it takes to succeed.

Quick Note

I’m not coming from Wall Street or a fancy business school. I’m coming from the floor of UPS trailers, early morning trading sessions, and late nights spent studying finance and coding because I want it more. I live in Austin and I’m ready to work my ass off. No ego. Just raw hunger to learn, grow, and contribute to something real and meaningful.
