My given name is Tomi. In 2002 I became (and have since reigned) as the youngest sibling in our family. Most of my life has been spent in Vesilahti, Finland, where my childhood home still stands.

I have always thrived from human contacts and I value great friendships. In my kindergarten book I was described the following “He smiles and gets along with everyone”. And that description hasn’t changed even to this day.

2002

I was born. My family were building my childhood home to Vesilahti, so we lived in Tampere for some time. I learned to speak some words.

2003

We move to a brand new house in Vesilahti. I learned to walk on my own.

2004-2005

I spend the days in daycare and make my first friends. Most of these people are still good friends of mine. I learned to play and have fun.

2006

My family moves to St. Louis, Missouri, USA. We lived in St. Louis for around six months. During this time I started going to the local preschool. I remember making a few friends despite the language barrier. Because of this opportunity I learned to speak English at a young age.

2007

I continue living in my childhood home and learning new things every day.

2008

My school journey officially begins. My class consists of about 25 students, including some familiar faces from kindergarten. I learn mathematics, Finnish grammar and most importantly, new games to play with my friends.

2009-2014

Elementary school. Started training “tricking” with my friends. Tricking is a hobby where you combine martial arts with gymnastics. During this period I studied, inter alia, English, Swedish and German.

2015-2018

Junior high school. Made many friends and got a lot of lifelong memories. We had two short working periods where I worked first as a plumber and the second time as a teachers assistant. In 2017 I got interested in investing due to the Bitcoin hype back then.

2019-2021

Business double degree. I wanted to learn more about money and business economics. I worked as a trainee in multiple companies in multiple positions. I started to understand money and how businesses operate. I started to invest my own money and follow the stock market.

2022

This year gave me so much more than I could’ve ever imagined. I completed my military service. The service taught me to endure physical and emotional pain on a different level. I learned to always stay on time and to humbly listen to others.

2023

Worked as a social media manager after the military service. Learned to track engagement, bounce rate, CTR etc. Used the skills learned during my studies for the marketing campaigns. In the summer I got back to military and worked as a peacekeeper abroad. During the deployment I got really into gym training and have since fell in love with bodybuilding.

2024

Started the year abroad. Learned a lot about myself and also about foreign politics. Got home from the deployment and started working as a roof painter. Continued going to the gym and got amazing progress. In the fall started my BBA studies in Tampere where I deepened my understanding of business economics, met new amazing people and had fun.

2025

In progress.
