Born Ernest Bankston Jackson, but given the nick/family name “Corky Jo “Jackson as a child and later CJ Jackson as an adult. My family moved from Gary, Indiana, to Arizona in the 1960’s. I attended grammar school through high school in Phoenix, Arizona, graduating in 1978. I attended DeVry Institute of Technology to get a BA degree in electrical engineering and to begin a career working at IBM. After attending DeVry, I was invited to work in the retail banking industry, which led me to explore other opportunities as a retail and wholesale mortgage banker/broker.

My career in the banking industry spanned 40 years, and I retired in 2018. I made my first million dollars in 1997 as an executive vice president of a mortgage company, and my company went on to earn 5, 20, 60 and 300 million in successive years afterwards. In the 1990’s, my family ties in the entertainment industry led me to launch a music production company that specialised in preproduction and artistic development of music and artists for the entertainment industry. I had the privilege of working with industry executives from Sony Music Group, MJJ Productions, Motown Records, and MCA Records, just to name a few.

I became interested in crypto/digital currency recently and found ILCA through Lynette Artin by way of another platform that I was involved with. I’ve been an educator since 1973, and I believe that I’ve found an educational program in ILCA that is life changing to a phenomenal degree. I eagerly anticipate learning more skills that I can share with others to help them improve their lives. I believe in the importance of inspecting what you’re expecting.

Education is key, education is everything!!!
