My Story...

I can remember making a pivotal decision when I was 17 years old.

I was getting ready to graduate high school and had been accepted to attend Clemson University in South Carolina to major in Mechanical Engineering. 

My family had been involved in the maritime industry for many years...My Dad was the Harbor Master for the port of Charleston SC so I'd been around the industry as long as I could remember. 

Then a life changing event occurred...
I received an offer to attend the Calhoon Engineering School in  Baltimore MD, a prestigious academy training Merchant Marine Engineering Officers.

What to do?

I was already enrolled in Clemson University...that was the safe choice.

But something told me way back then to jump off the cliff...to move to Baltimore to start an adventure that would take me around the world. 
So I attended the academy and began sailing on merchant ships taking me to England, Germany, Italy, Morocco, England, Canada and all over the U.S. 
Then ANOTHER life changing event
Fast forward several years...I was finishing up a sailing gig and got off my ship back in the port of Baltimore where I attended school. 

So what do you do when you get off a grueling trip sailing around the world? You go to a bar to decompress and have some fun.

Which is what I did and lucky for me met this beautiful blonde who beat me in darts and actually bought ME beer.

I was in love! We've been together ever since and now have a wonderful family...

A son and daughter and 4 crazy grand kids.

That's why we do what we do right?

So here's the family today

Off the ships and in to the real world
So now I get a job in the real world...Managing Office buildings as an Engineer. 

Then get an opportunity to get into sales working for an Air Conditioning Manufacturer. 

A couple of more gigs running local offices for big corporations. 

Only took a couple of years to get tired of that.
Now I'm an ENTREPRENEUR
So I bought a course of of an infomercial on how to invest in Real Estate.

My first purchase was a 2 unit apartment building I bought with no money down and owner financing...

I was hooked.

Built up a sizeable portfolio and multiplee companies and sold a few.
Then BANG lost almost everything
I scaled my R.E. empire up branching out in to land development and new home construction. I could do no wrong and the banks were throwing money at me.

But I made a HUGE mistake in personally guaranteeing all of that debt with even my home as collateral.

BAD IDEA

Then the financial crisis of 2007 and 2008 hit me like a ton of bricks.

All those assets on my books were suddenly worth 60% of their prior value.

I liquidated everything and took a huge bath.

It was a really difficult time in my life, both personally and professionally.

Fortunately my wife and family stuck by my side and I came out the other side.
Didn't lose my wits, though
So I rebounded quickly and started gobbling up foreclosures that were everywhere after the crash.

This helped right the ship, but I learned a some valuable lessons... Diversification and Non Recourse Funding

So I decided to branch out and started and exited companies in construction, environmental services, physical products sold on Amazon and my own ecom platforms and advisory services.
I dialed in my scaling methods
Running businesses in all these different industries and painful lessons learned in the R.E. biz helped me hone my methods to build successful companies, but most importantly how to SCALE those companies.

That started the evolution and development of the Business Casino Scaling Method and the Programmatic Acquisition System that are the cornerstone of our success methods.
And now I put all my energy in to helping partners scale and grow their businesses to realize their life's TRUE desires.
