I’m simply a real estate agent who has created the success and lifestyle I was after.
Now, my mission is to help other agents do the same.
I grew up in Michigan and never really excelled at anything: I graduated high school with a 3.0, played sports but was never picked as team captain, and went to college for 5 semesters then quit.
These trends followed me into my first 10 years as an entrepreneur, and I never achieved the success I was aiming for. I even tried starting a new business and actually lost $10,000. Needless to say, I was struggling financially.
But here I am today, harnessing the power of time, location, and financial freedom; living an extraordinary life, spending time with the people I love, and helping people that need it the most. Sure, the last 5 years have taken a lot of hard work and have thrown plenty of challenges in my path, but faith has pulled me through.
I knew I would succeed if I never gave up. There were countless moments when I took a step back, on the verge of quitting, asking myself “Is this worth it?”

For my first 10 years as an entrepreneur I never achieved the success I was aiming for, I even had a year where I started a new business and actually lost $10,000. I was struggling financially.
Even the next 5 years of getting to where I am today have been a lot of hard work, ups and downs but faith is what pulled me through. I knew I would succeed if I never gave up. There’s been many moments of wanting to quit and asking myself is it worth it?
My wife and I moved to North Carolina not knowing anyone. I completed my real estate license 9 months after getting there. Perfect recipe for success, right? Having no personal or professional connections, having absolutely zero real estate experience, and deciding to plunge head-first into the field. Sounds good! Not…
My first year was an absolute failure. I only sold 6 houses and barely broke even. Although I can’t say the year was a total loss, because I did end up finding my mentor…
Someone who had the blueprint that I was so desperately seeking.
By the end of that year, I had over 20 active listings, which propelled me into my second year when I sold 36 homes and made well over six figures!
Despite my increased income, I realized the blueprint handed to me still wasn’t perfect for the lifestyle I wanted to achieve. Sure, I was making good money, but creating an extraordinary lifestyle was nowhere in sight. All I could picture was a never-ending rat race: A battle against myself to sell more homes, year after year after year…
Since discovering the potential of entrepreneurship at a young age, my desire has been freedom: Financial freedom, time freedom, and locational freedom. I wanted to travel as much as I could, spend more quality time with my family and friends, and still make a stable income.
The problem, though, is that money and freedom as a real estate agent tend to be on two different sides of the spectrum. I was at the tipping point of working like crazy while sacrificing my free time for the sake of the job.
Have you ever missed dinner with your family because you were on a listing appointment or showing houses? How about negotiating contracts while on vacation and missing quality family time? I have… many times. For so long this was just the cost of being a “Successful Real Estate Agent!”
But here’s the saving grace. The light at the end of the tunnel. The rainbow at the end of the storm. The most drastic turning point in my career was adding leverage. I hired an assistant and buyers agent, which already allowed me to drastically reduce my commitment to 30 hours a week. I could take vacations where I didn’t have to leave for a call or answer an email. I was leaving the office at normal hours. Did I mention I even took almost all nights and weekends off?
Since discovering entrepreneurship at a young age my desire has been freedom…financial freedom, time freedom, being able to travel as much as I wanted!
There was one problem as a real estate agent if you have money freedom it’s usually because your working like crazy so there’s no time freedom.
Ever miss dinner with your family because you were on a listing appointment or showing houses? How about negotiating contracts while on vacation? I have…many times. Welcome to the life of a “Successful Real Estate Agent”!
The turning point for me was adding leverage. Hiring an assistant and a buyers agent. Now I was working around 30 hours per week and taking more vacations where I wasn’t working while on them. Did I mention I took almost all nights and weekends off?
In only a few years I was making six figures and not killing myself doing it. Life was good.
Until I realized this was just a new rat race on a different course. Overhead was high, and the stress of managing it all was even higher. This is when I realized the only sure-fire way out of the rat race was to create residual income.
By doing this, I could actually achieve financial freedom. This was my new path – my new goal. I found a sweet spot of running a small team to provide leverage. We sold around 85 homes and year and generated $600,000 in Gross Commissions.
Setting up my business this way allowed me to start building residual income and ultimately obtain financial freedom. I was officially financially free 5 years after getting my real estate license. I had reached my goals and achieved my dreams.
I want to help change the lives of other people who are where I was 5 years ago: unsure, unstable, and looking for something better.
Since I didn’t start this journey with immense talent or skill, I had to learn before I could teach. It’s been a 16-year journey of studying success through countless books and podcast. I’ve hired the world’s best mentors and have joined some of the best masterminds. I have spent my newfound financial and time freedom personal development, coaching, and overall improvement.
I’ve done all of this to become the best I can be. So I can be the best coach and mentor to YOU.
Flash forward to today: I coach agents to help them achieve success in business while still reaching personal lifestyle goals. I believe agents get into real estate with the hope of freedom while still making a stable income.
We all ultimately chose a career in real estate to have more control over our time, because a 9-5 desk job just never spoke to us. However, when looking at a traditional real estate agent’s work-life balance, the “stable income” only happens when we give into our business and leave behind the idea of living life on our own terms.
When it comes to deciding between being broke and having free-time, or committing every waking moment to your career and having the paycheck to prove it, I can tell you from personal experience that neither of these are fulfilling.
Today I help and coach agents to achieve the success in business and lifestyle they desire. I believe agents get into real estate to have freedom not just make a bunch of money. We all ultimately chose a career in real estate to have more control over our time and to earn more money. However most times agents get trapped by their business and miss out on living life on their terms.
I’ve been on both sides as an agent…broke… and then making a lot of money but not living life on my terms. I can tell you both sides are not fulfilling.
My commitment is to help you achieve the success and lifestyle you want! You bring the work ethic and I’ll bring the rest.
