Mission Statement

My mission in life is to learn, love, and create in an effort to contribute and influence positive energy in this world. I dedicate myself to a life of learning and love so I may appreciate all that God has given me the ability to experience. I strive to be creative, and persistent through my work, with a purpose and passion for life. My primary motivation is the pursuit of happiness and the happiness of others. My goal is to live a life of freedom, integrity, and purpose, to accomplish my goals and be successful to a standard that only I can define. I aim to be an inspiration to my family and friends, and to help them, however I can, achieve the level of fulfillment and happiness equal to or greater than my own.

My current career goals are focused on expanding existing skills and abilities with increasing complexity and sophistication. Much of my professional experience centers around various aspects of research, financial analysis, sales, and marketing related to real estate. My goal is to make significant contributions to society through successful, innovative, real estate developments, and investments in technology, education, and sustainability.

The end-goal of my professional life is to accomplish one or more of following:

• Start, own (or join), and manage a responsible, cutting-edge, profitable business pertaining to real estate and/or technology
• Become a venture capitalist and/or a partner at a venture capital firm (with a focus on real estate, real estate technology, alternative energy, sustainability, and nanotechnology)
• Work hard through the ranks of a good company to become a top executive or board member
• Maintain education, creativity, and persistence as a foundation of my daily routine

The end goal in my personal life is to accomplish ALL of following things:

• Become a loving and contributing husband and father
• Give regularly to those in need through charity and philanthropic organizations
• Leave this world knowing you contributed in making it a better place for future generations
• Let thy food be thy medicine and thy medicine by thy food

The path I take to achieve my professional and personal goals is not as important as the value of the experience through which the journey they require. My dream is not only to achieve a level of professional success that results in financial abundance, but to do so within an ethical and conscious manner, without sacrificing my  strongest beliefs, inner passion, or my ability to contribute to society as a whole.
