Since moving to the beach, one of my goals each day is for my girlfriend, Carrie, and I to walk down to the beach… whether it’s morning, noon or night… to at least take a quick look and soak it all in.
It gives us a time to shut our minds off, breathe deep, and re-center ourselves on what’s truly important.

has been investing in real estate ever since he got the bug in college at Clemson University and - to his parents dismay - dropped out of college to dive full-time into real estate at the age of 22 with a couple friends/partners from school.

After "on the job" learning through the school of hard knocks at first, he found the key that helped their company get deals done more quickly, with higher profit, less risk, without having to go to banks or use their own cash.
Fast forward to today, their company has closed over 130 real estate transactions and has put over $6 million in private money into their own transactions.
