Life is too short to spend it in a cubicle. Let's be wild & free!

I am on my third self-reinvention! After having children, I realized climbing the corporate ladder wasn’t in alignment with our core values as a family & the life we want to live. Instead, investing in real estate and hosting guests provides a creative outlet, something to build and leave for our children's future, & a meaningful way to give back to our community. All the feels!
