I was born and raised in small town America. The farming town that I’m from had a population of under 3,000 people when I graduated in 2009. Post graduation I moved to San Antonio, TX to try and figure out how to make my way in the world.

I worked in retail for about half a decade, and in both real estate and software for the other half of the 2010s. Somewhere in there I picked up (and lost…and picked up again) passions for the outdoors, photography, and fitness. This really sparked off on a hiking trip to the Guadalupe Mountains in 2016.

In October 2019 I left my job and started Lead Farmers PPC, a company that generates leads for real estate investors. That has allowed me the freedom to start to shape who it is that I want to be.

My time is split as evenly as I can make it between family, photography, trail running, and work. I can honestly say it’s a blessing. There hasn’t been another time in my life where I’ve just been able to take a step back and see what the next moves look like on a macro scale.
