Venture REI | Team

I grew up in the small town of Salem, Indiana. After attending Indiana University and graduating from the Kelley School of Business in 2004, I moved to Arizona to start a career in the real estate industry. During the housing market collapse in 2008, I combined my Midwest work ethic with my entrepreneurial spirit to start a real estate investment company. In 2010, I was recognized by Realtor Magazine as “30 Under 30” Honoree. With roots growing up in Kentuckiana – bourbon, basketball, and the Kentucky Derby are in my blood. In 2019, after my dad was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer and a hometown friend’s 3-year-old daughter had tumors growing on her spine, I felt inspired to make a difference and started Bourbon Charity. I am blessed with a beautiful family… my wife, Lala, son, Traven, my 6-daughter, Greylin, and our Golden Retrievers. We enjoy boating on Lake Powell, movie nights, nerf gun wars, and lots of family time together.
