Starting at age 15 with my first small business, then leaving home at 16, it was a roller-coaster ride to put my feet on the ground. At age 19 I burned everything I owned (true story!), emptied my bank accounts (then closed them) gave away the last of my money and started from scratch. Now that was an adventure! 🐦‍🔥 Now, almost 40, I am a Father of 3 awesome kids, an owner of 5 businesses and a Martial Artist for more than 25 years. ✌️ I built a life I love, one piece at a time, and my passions are fixing, bringing together, restoring and problem solving. I love to share what I have and what I know because I feel passionate about the equality of opportunity and believe in the magic that can happen when we start something from first principals. Hope to see you at my events. 🌳
