I’m a proud farm boy at heart, and it shaped every part of who I am today. Growing up, I practically lived in my red boots from sunrise to sunset, working alongside my family. Hard work wasn’t optional; it was a lifestyle, and to be honest, I secretly loved every second of it. That lifestyle taught me grit, perseverance, and a deep appreciation for earning what you work for.

My parents were both entrepreneurs—a farmer and a small business owner—so I grew up surrounded by the hustle and the freedom that comes with creating your own path. Those values left an impression on me early, and I knew I wanted to carve out a life with the same sense of purpose and independence.

In school, I thrived socially. I loved being around people, drawing a crowd, and building connections. Academically, though, it was a different story. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to learn—on the contrary, I’ve always been curious and eager to grow—it’s just that the traditional ways of teaching didn’t resonate with me. I did what I needed to do to pass, but my real education has come from life experience and pursuing the things that truly light me up.

That determination has carried over into everything I do. I don’t give up easily, and I’m fiercely committed to following through on my promises—sometimes almost to a fault. That mindset has served me well in my career. I’ve spent nearly 20 years with the same construction company, where I’ve had the privilege of learning invaluable skills, managing multimillion-dollar projects, and navigating complex challenges both in the field and behind the desk. 

Outside of my corporate life, my true passion burns for real estate. Looking back, I’ve been dabbling in it for years, even before I realized it was my calling. At 21, I bought my first home and eventually turned it into a profitable rental property. Since then, I’ve bought and sold two recreational properties for excellent returns, flipped vacant lots, BRRR-ed our second primary home, and acquired a duplex. Real estate has given me the thrill of building something from scratch and seeing the potential in opportunities others might overlook.

Today, my wife and I are fully committed to creating the life we’ve always dreamed of through real estate. We’re building a business that focuses on land flipping, entitlements, subdivisions, and even small business acquisitions. Our goal is to create not just financial freedom but the freedom to show our two young daughters the world and inspire them to dream bigger than we ever did. They are my “why,” and everything we do is rooted in building a legacy they can be proud of.

Joining a mastermind group has been one of the most transformative decisions I’ve ever made. It’s completely shifted my perspective on what’s possible. My old dream of working hard, earning a good wage, and retiring by 55 is a thing of the past. Now, I’m laser-focused on scaling my business, leveraging my network, pushing myself to achieve more than I ever thought possible, and creating a legacy.

I’m here to challenge, push, and motivate others, and I expect the same in return. I’m on this journey to surround myself with people who think bigger. I believe in the power of accountability, motivation, and collaboration to reach new heights—not just for me, but for everyone around me. Together, we can push boundaries and achieve more than we ever thought possible.

Let’s get to work and make it happen.
