I've had an unusual and great life so far. Im 30 years old now. I started my adult life by promptly dropping out of college, and giving up a full ride for academics, to pursue my dream of being a professional BMX stunt rider. Oddly, I actually pulled it off for a while. Through being a BMX performer I traveled the world sky diving in Hawaii, getting held captive in Zimbabwe and smiling often with some of my best friends. When I was 20 I started Rise Above Entertainment, which became the largest producer of BMX shows in the world. I think it still may be but I dont spend much time watching what the others are doing these days. However impressive that may sound, dont let it fool you, I'm simply a bigger fish in a much, much smaller pond. Along the way I found time to study Economics in college, which was amazing! I also fell in love with an beautiful girl whom I get the pleasure of marrying this May. Her and I have always known we wanted to aggressively invest in real estate. For the last 4 years we've done so at what I would consider a hobby level. We've acquired a total to 13 properties so far. And although I've thought for some time that I would refocus on real estate one day down the road, that day seems to be arriving sooner than I expected and I am honestly very, very excited about it!
