It was never about money.

 

The Basic Story

 

When I graduated from University of Virginia, I had a nagging urge not to be stuck in an office for life. I self-studied ‘Financial Freedom’ which, to me, meant ‘Time Wealth’ and the ability to live life where and how I wanted. But how to get it? Enter the formula Freedom = Time + Mobility (Thank you Tim Ferris). I learned you could generate time with passive income -- cash flow shows up without the 9-5 office grind. Mobility meant not doing things or taking on expenses that locked me into one location and using systems to operate one’s personal and business life anywhere in the world. I wanted to zig zag the globe and immerse in culture – a deep passion of mine. When I was hired by my first, and only, company, I quickly learned chasing corporate titles meant nothing to me; ‘LIFE’ and helping people did. I didn’t want to compete, I wanted to create.

 

Enter real estate in 2003 at age 23. My first year I purchased 10 properties by reading books at the local library. By 2014, I earned my freedom because I was creating more passive income than my corporate salary. No more relying on any person or thing to live. Continued personal growth, a legacy for family and impacting people was next.  This led to multi-family real estate in 2015 and a burning desire to help people escape ‘the matrix’ faster than I did using single family. 

 

Now I’ve got this superpower – an ability to help folks make a game plan on how to escape the rat race leveraging real estate and lifestyle design hacks. See, real estate is not my life -- living really well is. I believe we can and should do everything we want in life, and so far for me, I am. I have a wonderful family including two kids, traveled to 96 countries, became a Special Agent (no seriously!), and then a Police Officer (because my local community matters to me). I am on my way to finally living in the Mediterranean Region as I always wanted (don’t worry – the US is still home). Yeah, it seems crazy, but it’s all real -- ask me about it.

​

That’s what real estate and passive income does, empowers you to Amplify Wealth and Amplify Life. Talk to me about it. I’m here!

 

Professional Life

 

I never said I stopped actively working, that’s not me. I chose to stay with jobs I love. I leveraged the experiences to make me a better person, help my community, and provide the income to invest for more passive income. It’s been a crazy ride, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
