Career includes leading a media company startup to a successful buyout at 27 years old. Primary focus of roles has been in sales, real estate acquisition, business development, capital raising, and operations.

During my junior year of college I picked up what I thought was just a short-term student job with a very young startup, and that job turned into the next nine years as we grew the company into a powerhouse within its industry.

When that role ran its course, my wife and I spent a year traveling abroad...Costa Rica, New Zealand, Australia, Bali, and then after a couple weeks in Santa Monica we settled in Austin where we stayed for 10 years. We now live in Boise, Idaho.

I bought my first rental property within a month of college graduation. (Thank you Rich Dad Poor Dad.) My partners and I were doing short term vacation rentals before there was such a thing as Airbnb, and that eventually led to commercial development, building an amazing hotel and retail shop in a small tourist town in southern Illinois. 

In Texas I began other active real estate strategies, doing a handful of fix and flips and buying rental properties with creative financing. But I quickly realized that wasn't a passion, wasn't scaleable, and required too much time. (I now consider myself a recovering landlord.) That realization led me to large commercial real estate syndications. I invested in my first one in 2017. 

After investing in a couple more I decided I needed to help others get involved in this amazing investment vehicle. That's when we launched Sugarhouse Investments, helping other busy professionals access pre-vetted syndication opportunities. 

With over 20 years of real estate experience, the last five have been exclusively as a securities broker raising millions of dollars for commercial real estate projects.
