About

It took 20 years and 3 companies to realize I was building the wrong life. I used to think success meant chasing titles, equity, and comp. Then I turned 40 and faced the truth: 👉 I'm not wired to be an employee. In my 20s, I led the turnaround of an 8-figure business. Then another in B2B, closing 6–8 figure deals. I broke into tech using LinkedIn. Got hired. Got promoted. But something always felt… off. I had the income. The equity grants. The security. But I didn't have time. I didn't have peace. And I wasn't present with my family. After COVID layoffs and back-to-back burnout, I hit my breaking point. No safety net. Just a belief that something better had to exist. So I walked. Started over in real estate. Commission only. No special head start. Since then: ✔ Built and exited 2 companies ✔ Launched Real Estate Deal Makers ✔ Run Dispo at Blue Land Home ✔️ Manage high net worth lender relationships I now work with retired athletes, tech founders, and executives wanting fund our deals and earn 12% to 15% without tying up liquidity for years. We did 70 deals last year. We'll do over 100 this year and continue to keep scaling. Shoot me a DM if you want to put some money to work.
