Finally Introducing Myself
Hello! After passively using the forums for some time now I figured it's time to introduce myself.
I was stumbling through yet another failing Bumble date when I realized that real estate, unlike the modern dating scene, has a certain permanence that I could wrap my head around. I came to understand that this permanence presented opportunities to invest in my future, build a better life, and help others achieve the same.
After learning that you're supposed to pour the cereal before the milk, I felt confident that I can learn the skills necessary to succeed in the industry. I made my first investment in 2019, became a licensed broker in May of 2023, and am transitioning out of the military to focus full-time on real estate with the Five Pillars Team at eXp Realty. I currently cover the counties surrounding Ft. Liberty (formerly Ft. Bragg) and the RDU Triangle.
After winning the
accolade of coolest kid in school for being a mathlete and on the chess team, I
decided to expand my hobbies and personal interests. I've been on-and-off the
investor bandwagon of practicing BJJ because #DisciplineEqualsFreedom, but nowadays
I mostly spend my free time rock climbing or working out. Even if you're not
looking to buy or list in my area, I am always down to connect over any of
these recreational activities!
Ultimately my goal
is to exit my full-time real estate career by January of 2036 to focus
full-time on building philanthropic companies designed to help disadvantaged
youth and elderly communities. I think we can all use a little help from time
to time, and I believe I can do my part by helping those who are most
vulnerable.
Thanks for your time and don't forget to smile!

You have a great outlook and an even cooler name for real estate.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
