The Dude Abodes

It breaks my heart to see everything in my feed emerging from WNC as the waters start to recede and the scale of this disaster becomes more apparent. There are so many great people who have lost everything, and in the saddest of cases, their loved ones. I can't begin to fathom the weight of it all and the pain and anxiety so many are still feeling.

I know that the road back may seem like so many to be washed away, but if I know anything about the people of Western North Carolina, it's that they are some of the heartiest, strongest, and most charitable people in the world.

This is not the end, my friends. This is a new beginning. Sending you all of my love and strength.

You never think of the mountains when you hear of a hurricane, but I was a freshman at Western Carolina University when Katrina tore through the gulf and blew its way into the Smokies. I know firsthand the kind of damage that can happen. It breaks my heart to see the devastation Helene has wrought to one of my favorite places. Sending love to all of my friends and family in that part of the world. Stay safe and look out for each other.

Interstate 40 is blocked in several places around Asheville and near Tennessee line after Hurricane Helene.

"Having dreams is what makes life tolerable."
To be honest, I didn't know that business brokering was a thing or a career path even 2 years ago. When I decided to pivot my career last August to become a business broker, they told me to expect my first deal to take a year or more. I took those odds and bet on myself. Flash forward to today, and I have officially done 3x what they told me to expect in my first year. I graduated today from my business brokering mentorship!

It sounds cliche to say that small businesses are the backbone of America, but it's the truth. It's also true that there is a coming deluge of people in America who have spent their lives building businesses who are ready to move on to chase the next dream. Whether that dream is retirement or buying your next business, I now have the esteemed honor and privilege of helping people sell the culmination of their life's work and/or buy the business of their dreams.

To all of the business owners out there grinding day in and day out, I'd like to let you know that when the time comes to move on to whatever is next, I'll be here and ready to work just as hard as you to make it all worth it.

To all of those dreamers out there who are ready to become their own boss and take the future into their own hands, I'll be there when it's time to take the leap.

Special thanks to my loving wife for her tireless support, my mentor Erica Siate for her guidance, and to my clients who put their faith in me.

In Montana’s young cannabis industry, there are very few companies that go back as far as this one. Started in 2011, this company counts itself amongst

Leap year holds a special place for me now. 4 years ago, I was by every metric killing it in craft beer sales, and while it was having the desired effect on the company I was the sales manager of, it wasn’t having a meaningful impact on my bottom line. 4 years ago today, I signed up for classes to obtain my real estate license because the education platform was having a “Leap Year Sale” on classes, so I decided to take the jump and begin the process of changing to a career where I had control over my own financial future.

A global pandemic, a cross-country move, and countless put-up-or-shut-up moments later, I’m still standing and feeling momentum I could’ve only dreamed of 4 years ago. I’d be lying if I said it’s been easy, but few things worth doing ever are.

In trying times, I always think of a phrase my dad told me growing up: “A big shot is just a little shot who kept on shooting.”

Don’t retreat. Reload.

This opportunity was granted an extension on their renewal by the state, which means there’s still time to make an offer! The license is completely relocatable and is perfect for an established grower looking to obtain their own license. All offers will be reviewed and considered. 406-404-DUDE
