I start businesses and buy real estate.

I was born in Calgary, Canada in January 1985.
I never went to college. Everything I know I learned by doing — starting with a $20 snow shovel at age 12. By my early twenties I had built and exited several businesses across multiple industries. No classroom taught me that.
Not everything worked. I have wound down ventures, navigated market collapses, and navigated significant financial losses during the Global Financial Crisis. I learned more from failure than I ever did from success. Those lessons are the foundation everything I build today sits on.
In 2012 I moved to the United States, drawn by an environment that genuinely rewards building at scale. It is the best decision I have ever made.
Today I operate out of Melbourne, Florida — building and managing a private real estate portfolio while serving as Director of Business Development and Entrepreneurship at Easler Law and Co-Founder and CEO of WorkTraining.com. I also co-host the Learn Laws® podcast.
Buying real estate on the Space Coast was the second best decision of my life. It provided me with the time and capital to take risks and explore other ventures, without shareholders and the shame of failure.
For entrepreneurs, real estate is uniquely powerful — it generates passive income that funds your next venture and creates the kind of long term financial stability that pure business income rarely delivers on its own.
Businesses can fail. Real estate can help you build.
Entrepreneurship is a long game. These are the ventures I'm building today — each one shaped by the lessons of everything that came before, the wins and the losses alike.

Not every venture succeeds — that's the honest reality of entrepreneurship. Some businesses run their course, and some meet market forces beyond anyone's control. These ventures didn't end the way I'd hoped, but the lessons they taught have shaped every venture since.

These books were written very early in my entrepreneurial journey and reflect the thinking and experience of that period. My focus today is investing in and developing real estate and technology.
View on Amazon→Nearly twenty years ago, my early ventures attracted press coverage and interviews. Early media and interviews were reflective of my thinking and experience at the time — my opinions and thinking have evolved over the course of my career as an entrepreneur. They are shared here as a record of where I came from.
