I am a 51-year-old entrepreneur from Southeast Missouri. My wife, Cassie and I have four children, three girls and one boy. We also have one granddaughter. We recently become empty-nesters in 2025, which is awesome. I took the leap and become a business owner in 2003. It was a four Bay auto repair shop. In 2012 I purchased a 62 unit Mini Storage and four houses which began my journey into real estate investing. I am now strictly multifamily investing on the Real Estate side.
