Sam Sharma is a devout Christian, husband, and father, whose life is grounded in faith, family, and a commitment to serving others. Over the last 15 years, Sam has built a career as an entrepreneur, founder, and investor across technology, fintech, automotive, artificial intelligence, and real estate. Whether in business or community leadership, Sam's guiding principle is simple: use every gift God provides to lift others up. He is anchored by Proverbs 11:25: "A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed."
Sam is the co-founder of The Good Lord, a limited edition and luxury Christian clothing brand built around a trademarked faith-centered logo. The brand reflects Sam's desire to bring the message of Christ into culture through design, storytelling, and bold expression. Driven by a mission to make a tangible difference, Sam also founded The Giving Legacy, a charitable initiative dedicated to helping individuals and families in need. Through partnerships with churches, local non-profits, and community groups, The Giving Legacy focuses on poverty relief and reform-oriented community projects. Sam's approach to philanthropy is hands-on — working directly with community leaders to identify needs, fund solutions, and deliver immediate, practical support. His charitable philosophy is rooted in generosity, compassion, and Biblical stewardship.
In addition to philanthropy, Sam is deeply committed to public service and community uplift. He believes strong families and strong communities form the backbone of a healthy society, and he is passionate about promoting opportunity, accountability, and positive change at the local level. Sam regularly engages in initiatives that support youth programs, financial literacy, housing stability, and faith-based community development. His long-term vision is to use his experience in business, technology, and leadership to contribute meaningfully to public service and to help build safer, stronger, and more prosperous communities.
Across his career, Sam has co-founded multiple companies and is now an active investor, developer, and philanthropist. Professionally, Sam is recognized as one of the early architects of real-time crypto payment card technology, beginning in 2017. His work laid foundational frameworks that many modern issuers follow today, influencing how authorization, settlement, and multi-currency digital payment systems are built. His investment philosophy centers on long-term value creation, emerging technologies, and businesses that align with integrity, faith, and positive social impact.
Above all, Sam views his work — in business, philanthropy, and community leadership — as part of his calling to be a servant-leader. His focus is to leave a legacy rooted in generosity, moral conviction, and meaningful change for the families and communities he serves.
