Seattle, WA

I live in Seattle. I love to travel and have traveled extensively around the world - I've been to four continents and countless countries, I've climbed waterfalls (yes, that means going up against the water), kayaked with whales, and successfully avoided a police search party in Colombia (what happens in Colombia, stays in Colombia).

Investor
Weatherford, TX

I have been a firefighter and paramedic in the DFW area for over 15 years and started my journey in REI in 2012. With a background in construction and being a licensed home inspector in Texas it just seemed like a natural transition to start investing. I first started with a single rental and since added a few more while doing flips to fund...
