Meet J. Angelo
From the Battlefield to the Boardroom. From Vision to Victory.
J. Angelo is not just a name—he’s a force. A self-made visionary whose journey spans military valor, corporate leadership, and creative entrepreneurship, J. Angelo inspires people worldwide to live with purpose, power, and financial freedom.
Raised on the South Side of Chicago, he learned resilience early as one of five siblings, grinding on the basketball courts and navigating the challenges of inner-city life. At just 18, he began a legendary career in the U.S. Marine Corps, eventually becoming a highly respected Drill Instructor at Parris Island. After 15 years of service, most would stop. J. Angelo re-enlisted—this time with the 173rd Airborne and deployed to combat in Afghanistan, proving that greatness doesn’t pause.
Transitioning from military to corporate leadership, he excelled with companies like Nike and Dun & Bradstreet, leading high-performing teams. But a deeper mission was calling.
J. Angelo became a self-taught digital creator, the author of the life-changing book "Stop Living Broke: The $1.00 Method to Fixing All Your Money Problems," and the founder of J. Angelo Limited Edition—a bold line of exclusive handbags that turn heads and tell stories. Each design is a unique fusion of art, identity, and empowerment.
Today, J. Angelo resides in the Phoenix Metro area, living a life of freedom and fierce ambition. Whether he’s launching new creations, building his brand, or sharing hard-earned wisdom, he remains driven by one mission:
To help others live better, save smarter, and never settle for average.
