If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would that be?

Buy real estate as soon as you can afford it and hold onto it. Start building a portfolio and rent the properties out. It’ll pay off more than you realize.

Who do you count as your greatest mentor(s) that have helped you succeed in your personal and professional life?

I’ve been fortunate to have many people speak into my life over the years, and I’m incredibly grateful for all of them. They’ve been mentors and leaders who have shaped me along the way. I’ve worked for some of the best bosses, who never felt like bosses at all. They were true mentors who pushed and challenged me, not just professionally, but as a person, a father, and a leader.

If I had to choose just one mentor, though, that’s an easy one: my dad. He’s always had my back and has challenged me from the time I was a little boy to work hard, never burn bridges, and take care of the people around me because they’ll take care of you in return. My dad has friends everywhere, and he’s always the first to show up and help however he can. He genuinely loves it. Watching him live that out over the years has constantly inspired me and guided me in everything I do.

Where do you see yourself and what will you be doing with your life after 40?

I have a beautiful family that supports me and drives me every day, so my focus will always be on whatever they need and on building into the success of my boys and our little farm. I’m fortunate to truly enjoy the work I do and the company I work for, HighCraft Builders. I hope to continue growing in my role and to be part of the next chapter and future growth of the company.
