Kollan House

As the son of a physician in the military, Kollan had gotten used to moving around. But he became the man of the house when he was only 5. His parents were separating and as the older brother of two younger siblings, he felt it was up to him to help his mother. Perhaps it was those early responsibilities that prepared him for a life of running things.

Kollan has worn many different hats, and has develop his innate abilities to be adaptable and problem solve. He has enjoyed applying the scientific method he learned in school for engineering to efficiently solve challenges that involve humans. Now Kollan has a 20-year plan to be successful in business – and then he wants to build spaceships.

Kollan’s fascination with the operational side of business stems from his childhood, when he spent many hours figuring out how NASA could build and launch spacecraft. His love of science and of running projects comes from those early days too. As a young engineering student, he paid for his tuition by working part-time for UPS, and was supervising a team of 30 people before he left. That management experience paid off when Kollan turned his attention to building online businesses and successful ventures in the world of cryptocurrencies.
