He lived in Northern Argentina for two years on a volunteer service mission for his Church from 1998-2000.

He has now been married for over 21 years with his wife and they have four children. His wife is from Paraguay and together they enjoy the opportunities they have to travel back to visit family there and to help the communities in South America.

He bought his first investment property, a four plex, in 2017. Then two more 18 months later. Then he began moving into commercial real estate including ground up development projects and eventually landed with Happy Camper Capital providing syndication opportunities in RV Campground Resorts.
