Born in the midwest I enjoyed summer and winter sports but spring and fall with the rain cold and unpredictable weather I found myself yearning for a climate like I found here in AZ.

I wasn’t achieving the success nor the fulfillment I wanted in marketing. I found myself in a financial turning point when I wanted to sell my house quickly and invest in real estate in AZ. I ended up selling to an investor and that’s when it all began, I was officially an investor. I realized at that moment that I could help people in transitory positions like myself, to move on to a new direction and hope in the future. Researched the REI industry and took action building power relationships to allow me to find, fund, repair and sell SFRs in Phoenix for profit. I am using this experience, my contacts, passion and resources to further my goal of reaching financial freedom while helping educate and nurture homeowners.
