Born in Corpus Christi, Texas, Mr. Maxeda moved to the Houston Metropolitan area as a young teen. As Pasadena, Texas, is heavily influenced by the oil industry, he worked in the oil refineries after high school as a helper and janitor. He decided to continue his education in the oil petroleum field: he was a welder by trade, then became a nondestructive examiner and eventually an API inspector for major oil companies. He’s been involved in several large projects/turnarounds throughout his 26 years in this field. His career has allowed him to follow his passion for investing in cash-flowing assets as an Accredited Investor.
Despite not having formal training then, he decided to start studying in Main Street with non-traditional investments, with the guidance of his father and stepmother, Fidel Mazeda Sr & Flor Mazeda, with a book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” that changed the course of his life.
He is a 3rd generation real estate investor and 1st generation oil Investor; he’s currently a partner in over 200 multifamily units and over 200 oil wells. Since 2004, he’s dedicated himself to personal development and investing principles with DIY education, i.e. books, seminars, online classes, podcasts, webinars, and live events. He’s had the honor of being involved with several investment groups, meeting highly influential individuals and a few authors who wrote about non-traditional investments that led him to pursue legacy wealth and time freedom.
He attributes his success to those who’ve helped guide him on this journey of life. His purpose is to improve the course of his family’s future.
In addition, he deeply values the unwavering support of his wife, children, and mother.
