I love building fast growth companies with a great team, exceptional products and world class service. Feels like I've made every mistake known to mankind, and a few that haven't been created yet. lolHad my first business exit at age 15. Second exit at age 18.Started OHI in 1999 with less than $100. Grew the company to a $139 million valuation in 2010.Semi retired to Florida in December, 2010 when the company was still averaging 74% annual growth.I joined a homebuilder startup in 2020 as the #3 member responsible for acquisitions, development and capital raising. In four years, out of 402,676 homebuilders in the U.S., we've grown to be the 124th largest according to Builder Giants Magazine.Currently building Jabburr to fix everything wrong with social media.Jabburr is the first social commerce super app outside of China and unlike anything the West has experienced. Jabburr is generating more revenue per user than Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat combined, and here to stay.I'm happily married to my beautiful wife and business partner of 25 years, proud father of two great kids in college and have some crazy friends. Life is Good!

Business OwnerOhi Dec 1999 - May 2015Richmond, Virginia Area1999 – 2010CEO / Old Homes, Inc. (OHI) Started OHI with $106 in the bank and built company to a $139 million valuation and over $300 million in assets (approx. $800 million in todays dollars). Raised over $250 million in capital. Acquired, developed and managed approximately 3 million square feet of residential, multifamily (1,810 units), mixed-use and commercial real estate. Systemized the mass renovation process of historic properties and developed processes similar to institutional home builders, where every product down to the door hinges were designed before construction began, each step of the renovation process was put in a systemized order, and integrated processes were used repeatedly like a manufacturing plant to grow OHI into one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. year after year. Fortunate enough to be in over 40 articles and television shows including 4 episodes on HGTV. Spent many years in much needed weekly business coaching learning how to build a company (mostly with E-Myth Organization; which I highly recommend).Believe strongly in preparation and operational systems to avoid chaos during fast growth. OHI was listed in Inc. 5000 three times with revenue excluded from 12 subsidiaries.Just a regular guy trying to improve every day; well, most days! :)
