I grew up in Fort Worth, graduated from Dunbar Magnet High School and then went to UT Austin for Mechanical Engineering. I first started playing soccer at age 4. At age 8, I started my first business. I purchased candy from Sam’s and sold them at school and made the spread. The profit was about $50/week. My bus driver called me the candy man and that business continued until the school threatened to kick me out of school unless I stopped selling candy. I also mowed lawns, bought and sold baseball cards, and put together “carnivals”.

​

My passion for business continued in college where I started an internet business selling gaming cards (and threw my first charity event). I sold them all around the world while working 2 jobs to pay for mechanical engineering school at UT Austin. After college, I started my real estate career by flipping houses and purchasing rentals with an eye to go bigger. I began my multifamily career in 2012 by investing passively in 2 deals and syndicated my first deal in 2014 and raised over $1.6M for the purchase.
