As a ex-software guy turned real estate agent, developer and investor who started working in real estate shortly after the housing crash in 2008, I started out doing flips and after a few deals got into new construction in East Austin. I've been doing in-fill new construction since 2010 and became an agent in 2017 along with my wife. I share my successes, failures, and experiences in the real estate industry and reflect on this as part of my own pursuit of happiness. My mid-life transformation from code monkey to builder and salesperson was a huge challenge to my identity. It was weird, it hurt, and I'm glad I did it. It's my ambition to share my path and help others reach financial independence through business and real estate.
