I love spending time with family and friends...traveling, fishing, hiking, mountain-biking, camping, kayaking, cooking, eating great food, gardening, wood-working, real estate investing and networking.
I'm a proud Dad to 3 awesome kids! I work in my local government in my home-town and I'm an Entrepreneur.
Helping others is a passion of mine and I look for opportunities to do that wherever I can. I believe that we can get whatever we desire in life if we just help enough other people to get what they want.
I became interested in real estate and business out of personal frustrations that came from being an employee with no control of my own time or finances.
For a few years, I struggled to earn income from businesses that I started because I confused "trying to build a business" with earning money.
The two are absolutely different and "trying to build a business can make you BROKE! Been there...done that and I own the t-shirt!
If it's cash-flow that you really want, then that's what you have to pursue...not, "trying to build a business."
We all have "coaches" or mentors in life who have done the things that we aspire to do. My coaches have all shared their time and hearts with me to help me to become a better person and better at what I do.
It's been their gift to me and it's that gift that I'm passionate about sharing with those of you who are looking for it.
I look forward to meeting you!
Sports:
I love to watch soccer and ice hockey, but don't follow any particular teams.
Movies:
Top Gun was the coolest movie of all time!
TV:
I like to watch the Food Network and Comedy Central. I have two channels that are all soccer...all the time and I love to watch those channels too because when it's played right...it's a beautiful game!

Heroes/Idols:
I admire the young men and women who are serving in our nation's military. They are a force of volunteers who go above and beyond their call of "duty" and we owe them all of our gratitude.
I'm inspired by anyone who gives of themselves in the service of others.
