Speaker: Donald Ross

Donald Ross was active duty in the United States Marine for seven (7) years (2007-2014). During his time in service, they had systems and processes for everything! He was in charge of purchasing and tracking millions of dollars in unit assets. While working in the Contracting Department, he developed a CRM that tracked all unit requests from requirement to award. It tracked $200 million in contracts and is used to this day.

In 2014 a business partner and Donald Ross were flipping contracts (wholesaling) houses after being medically retired from the Marines. He built REI Automation Squad's first CRM for real estate investors due to their own requirements within their business. As they joined masterminds within the real estate investing community others were asking what they used and if it was something they offered as a service? Providing software as a service (SaaS) began and has grown into a multimillion dollar business.

Geoff Possley

Geoff is a part time buy and hold investor with investments in the Fox Valley and Sheboygan area. He is a full-time aircraft certification engineer for Gulfstream Aerospace in Appleton where he lives with his wife Laura and four children Carter, Madeline, Rowen and Brielle.

Geoff got started in real estate in 2005, with very little REI knowledge, when he purchased a single-family home with the plan to do a live-in flip over the next few years. After the bubble burst in 2008 his focus shifted from turning a profit to simply breaking even. This led Geoff to step away from real estate for a number of years until he discovered WiscoREIA in 2018 where he finally was able to acquire the knowledge and network that was necessary to be successful in real estate investing. His goal is to use REI as a means to retire early from engineering.

Geoff currently invests in single-family and small multi-family properties that he operates as traditional rentals as well as short term furnished rentals. In his free time Geoff enjoys camping with his family, playing golf, snowboarding, hunting, and good beer.
