Real Estate Investor Home

I graduated from The Ohio State University with a major in Real Estate from the Fisher College of Business.  I also minored in Turfgrass Management.  I completed my first 2 years at the OSU branch campus in Lima.  This allowed me to remain active on our family farm as well a continue to operate my lawn care.   I am particularly interested in short sales and rehabs.  I am now employed as a District Sales Associate for Beck's Hybrids, a seed company in Indiana.

I began investing December 2006 when I purchased my first rehab.  It was located in a small town in NW Ohio with a very low resale value.  But I bought it right and was able to turn a nice profit on this first deal.  I have been doing remodeling work with my dad for nearly 10 years and have picked up the skill and love for improving the appearance of a home.  I worked on this rehab during my Christmas break and on the weekends up to the end of spring break.  I sold the house in June of 2007.  Finished house #2 in May of 2010 and am now in the middle of #3.  I just love watching houses transform from junk to the nicest house on the block!

I am married to my high school sweetheart, Beth.  She has started her own web design business.  I grew up on a turkey and grain farm and love the outdoors.  I love playing tennis and working out.  I have a wonderful family and we're all very close.  I can't stand sitting around doing nothing and I love working.  I love to travel and hope to visit all 50 states.  Mexico and the Antigua and St. Lucia are the most amazing places I have visited. 

I'm ready to learn all I can about real estate.  I won't let money run my life.  Family comes first no matter what.  I want to be successful financially but more importantly successful as a father, husband, friend, and coworker.
