I grew up in a small, rural beach town. After being denied a bus boy job, I joined a janitorial crew & ended up taking over the contract to clean a large medical complex. From cleaning toilets to far more shocking cleanups I have never been afraid or felt I was too good to do any job necessary. At the age of 18 I made my first Real Estate investment (a land assemblage) which set the stage for a remarkable journey. After my freshman year in College, I became a realtor & began to market the property. Shortly thereafter, I sold the property to a development firm on contract for 3.5X the purchase price representing over a 20X ROI. After selling the property, I turned my attention to other Real Estate investments & managed to graduate college summa cum laude with a business degree. After graduating, I went to law school & received a JD degree.
I now own a sizeable diversified Real Estate portfolio with low leverage non-recourse debt & without outside investors. In addition, I also own a vertically integrated group of Real Estate investment companies. In the past, I have received institutional offers to purchase one of the Real Estate adjacent service companies I founded without debt or outside investment.
Recently I have co-founded & invested in several service & e-commerce businesses with an emphasis on Media, Technology & Native Retail. I am building companies that cash-flow with an intent to hold forever. I am also the co-founder & majority owner of the largest privately owned U.S vacation rental company grown without outside investors or debt.
I am always on the lookout for hungry, driven great operators to run my portfolio of companies.
