Brad Starling

I have worked over 12 years as a firefighter in Colorado Springs, and have over 19 years of firefighting experience. Before that, I grew up on a dairy farm in rural Missouri. As a farmer and blue collar worker, money and investing has always been foreign to me. I decided to start learning about money, and came to love real estate as an investment vehicle. Using my blue collar values, knowledge of the local area, and new gained investing ideas, I started investing in residential, single family rentals. Good, but mostly bad, experiences led me to learn more about real estate, and I became a licensed agent in 2013. Outside of work, I play with my family (wife of 18 years and 3 daughters). We participate in competitive volleyball, as well as enjoy the outdoors through hiking, camping, off-roading, and hunting/fishing.
