WHO I AM:
I got my entrepreneurial start in the world of real estate investing around 2011. I flipped hundreds of houses and purchased three dozen rental properties. Then I started a coaching business and helped hundreds of clients buy their first rental properties.
After 5 years of coaching investors, I fell in love with the coaching and education industry and started helping clients start coaching and consulting businesses of their own.
I live in Colorado with my wife and two daughters. I spend most of my time with my family, working on my business, and doing fun stuff like yoga, kickboxing, parkour, and frisbee golf. I love to play video games (Counterstrike mainly), drink margaritas, smoke a good cigar, drink delicious coffee, and goof off with my friends.
