Early Life
Patrick Bet-David was born on October 18, 1978, in Tehran, Iran.
At the age of 10, PBD and his parents fled Iran during the Iranian Revolution to a refugee camp in Germany.
After spending over 1.5 years at the camp, the family went to the US were they granted U.S. citizenship.
Patrick attended high school and after graduating he joined the military serving in the 101st Airborne Division for six years.
First jobs in finance
Patrick was honorably discharged from the military as he decided to start a career while working.
At the age of 21 Patrick got hired as a financial advisor for Morgan Stanley. Having little to none market experience, Patrick knew he had to be innovative in his approach competing with other advisors. After some years Patrick delved into the world of insurance working for Transamerica.
After several years of partying with no clear purpose in sight, Patrick believed he would need to get determined about working on his future. Doing so he started to attend several yearly business conferences while reading his way through classic self-development and financial business books.
With enough confidence in his early 30's PBD felt ready to build his own business as an insurance marketing organization,
the PHP agency.
