Who I Am

High Performer.
Intentional Father.
Always Building.

I've spent years excelling in IT & AV sales while building an awesome and adventurous family. Four kids, an amazing wife, and a life rooted in faith.

CrossFit, endurance running, and strength training aren't hobbies. They're how I stay sharp enough to lead at home and at work. Whole-life wellness and nutrition are part of the same equation. My health & my faith are the foundations everything else is built on.

I'm focused on the things that compound: building a brotherhood of driven men leading better at home and in life, and building real assets through experiential hospitality investments.

Hospitality Investment

Building Real Assets.
Not Just a Career.

Alongside coaching, I'm actively building a portfolio of boutique hospitality properties: micro-resorts, glamping, and boutique hotel acquisitions with existing cash flow and value-add upside.

This is about creating lasting generational wealth and the freedom to lead my family on my terms. I'll document the journey: deals, frameworks, lessons, and the reality of doing this while working a full-time job with four kids at home.

Micro-Resorts & Glamping
