Business Coaching · AI Training · 1,200+ Doors Managed

Cut the guesswork.
Execute.

Two decades running operations for Fortune 100 companies. I own 157 rental doors and my company manages over 1,200. Now I coach property managers and investors — with hands-on AI training, and, when you want something built, fixed-price automation. No analysis paralysis. No surprise invoices.

Who you're working with

Discipline. Systems. Results.

I've spent a career turning chaos into process — two decades leading operations and information management inside multiple Fortune 100 companies, PMP- and Six Sigma-certified, running Agile and Scrum teams. (I got my start in the U.S. Marine Corps.)

I also live this world: I own a property-management company, a general-contracting company (I hold the builder’s license myself), and a real-estate investment company, and I invest across 157 rental doors — while my company manages over 1,200. I know the headaches because I have them too — and I've built the systems, automations, and AI workflows to kill them.

When we work together, you're not getting theory. You're getting an operator who will show you how, build it with you, report on it, and coach the decisions — so you stop guessing and start executing.

The engagement

Four ways I move your business forward

Pick one or blend them — every package is built around your actual operation.

01

Business coaching

One-on-one coaching from an operator who's actually built and run these businesses. Strategy, systems, and the hard calls — worked through with you, not handed off to a slide deck.

02

Personalized AI training

Hands-on and one-on-one. The AI tools that genuinely move the needle for a PM or investor — set up and taught around your actual workflow, not a generic course.

03

Fixed-price automation

Want something built? I'll scope it and hand you a fixed-price estimate up front. You approve it, I build it. No open-ended hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

04

Reporting, systems & support

Dashboards that tell you what's really happening in your portfolio, the systems to run it, and a steady operator on call when you need one.
