Personal

I have a wife, a daughter, and two dogs, and we spend most of our weekends outside, chasing whatever magic Utah is handing out that day. We have been here two years and I cannot picture ever leaving. This is home.

In 2021 I had a kidney transplant. My mom was the donor, so, thanks Mom. An autoimmune disease took my own, and the year around that surgery taught me three things I have not put down since: nothing beats a genuinely positive mental attitude, therapy is worth every minute, and wasting time is not something I am willing to do anymore. I move fast, I iterate, and I do not settle, because I have a very clear sense of what it costs to assume you have unlimited road ahead of you. There is always a better way to do a thing. I would rather go find it than defend the old one.

For most of my life I wanted to be a builder and the tools would not let me. I built with spreadsheets and Tableau and got as far as those could carry me. Now I build with a genius, and I have never had more fun. AI is the most remarkable technology I have ever touched, and not for what it is. For what it finally let me become.

Real estate and operations is still my heart, the thing I love doing every single day. Real estate agents are some of the most remarkable entrepreneurs on the planet. They are asked to do things no sane person would agree to, and they do them anyway, and that is exactly why I love them. My dad is the reason I fell into operations in the first place. He is my inspiration and my why.

So here is what I actually believe. The more I build to support agents instead of squeeze them, the more they get to do, and the more of a life they get to keep while doing it. I know this business from the inside. I know what real success in it costs, and it is more than a 24/7 schedule. I would rather build the things that give agents their lives back than the things that take a little more off the top.
