A Word from our Founder

Welcome!

Ever since I was old enough to handle a pair of scissors, I would cut up pictures from various magazines

and glue them to the backs of 3 x 5 cards, then trade them to the other kids for whatever they had on hand.

Eventually all the other kids started bringing their own “trading cards” to swap and soon, we had our own

little marketplace. Every Sunday after church we’d run to our corner and empty our book bags of our

adolescent handiwork, and do everything we could to ride home with the best pick, determined to do better

next week. That idea stuck and continued to grow with me as I became older; the concept that we could get

things without spending any money fascinated me and all we had to do was know the right people.

Fast forward 14 years and here I am still believing in the limitless possibilities of networking, the endless

opportunities of sharing and the invaluable measure of my time. People like you and me see the world

differently. It’s why we’re both investing ourselves into this piece of paper because something I have could

benefit you and you have exactly what I need.

In the past 7 of those 14 years I’ve envisioned an idea. An idea that’s turned concept, then turned plan. It’s

what you’re reading. It’s the result of all my desires to become financially independent, amass an international

network and ultimately own a company that harnesses the intrigue of the kid inside all of us that wants anything

to be possible. Its name is Swade and it’s an online trading facilitation site that combines professionalism and

ease of use into the perfect system for any and all people wanting to see what they can acquire with what they

already have.

We look forward to partnering with you on this journey!
