Before getting into real estate full time in 2002, I was a strategy consultant for eight years with Deloitte and Accenture. I learned how to leverage technology to develop breakthrough strategic approaches and rapidly gain market share. This experience underpins our efforts at Ironton Capital, Your Castle Real Estate, and First Alliance Title.I started Ironton Capital in 2019. We now have a team of twelve people. We help passive investors get diversified access to institutional grade real estate. Fund 1 (2019) is tracking to a 15% annual return. Funds 2-3 are in the 15-20% range. We're currently raising money for Fund 9. Our short term income fund with quarterly dividends pays 8-9% annually. The medium term income fund pays 11-13% per year. I founded Your Castle in 2006. It is the largest independent brokerage in the Denver metro. We grew sales from $0 in 2006, to over $2 billion in 2023. In July 2016, we made the "Inc. Magazine - fastest growing companies in America" list for the third year in a row. In September 2017 we acquired Shorewood real estate with 200+ Realtors. In October '17 we purchased Private Label real estate. We have three offices spanning the front range and major resort markets, and over 700 Realtors. We focus on proving a great work environment for our 50+ employees. I sold YCRE to a private equity group in 2021, but I still am CEO. We started First Alliance Title in 2014. We closed over 2,000 transactions in 2020, ranking us in the top 5% of the largest title companies in Colorado. I sold FAT to Compass in 2021.I've written many books, including:- The Complete Guide to Passive Real Estate Investing (2024)- Thrive - How Realtors Can Succeed in a ANY Market (2024)- Game Changers - the Unfounded Fears and Future Prosperity of the Real Estate Industry.- The 2019 Guide to Colorado Real Estate Investing (fourth edition)- Unlocked - Revealing the Eight Secrets of Highly Efficient Sales Professionals.- How to Use Social Media to Thrive and Close More DealsI'm also active in real estate development and I have portfolio of commercial properties. I'm on the board of directors of two large local charities.I've been married for 25+ years and have three adult children. For fun I golf (badly), ski, run, play tennis, travel, and cook.
