If you would’ve told me a few years ago that I’d be building homes and teaching others how to do it, I wouldn’t have believed you.

I was 37, working in IT for 911 dispatch, constantly under pressure, carrying the weight of everyone’s emergencies—until my own body gave out. A stroke changed everything. In that hospital bed, I made a decision: I wasn’t going to keep surviving. I was going to start

living.

That led me to real estate.

At first, I thought building homes meant swinging hammers or having a big crew. But I realized the most powerful skill—the one that changed my life—was something no one was really talking about:

Learning how to determine if a piece of land is actually buildable.

Not just whether you can buy it—but if it makes sense to. The zoning, utilities, setbacks, soil, the math—it all matters. Once I learned how to vet a parcel, everything shifted. I stopped wasting time. I stopped guessing. And I finally started making real money as a builder.

That’s why my partner, Anthony and I created the Due Diligence Training. Not to teach theory—but to give you the exact framework I use to break down any parcel and decide what’s possible before wasting time or capital.

If you’re ready to stop playing the guessing game and finally step into your power as a builder, this is where it starts.

Let’s get to work.
