I was born in Leopold Indiana and went to school at Cornell where I ran track and founded my first company, Storage Squad. My partner Dan Hagberg and I grew that business to 25 major college towns before we sold the business for 7 figures in early 2021.
While we were running the service business, we also built our first storage facility in Ithaca NY from the ground up and opened it for business back in 2017.
After selling the company, I then turned my full-time attention to real estate private equity and self storage operations and we began to grow quickly.
My partner Dan and I now own 1.9M square feet of self storage across 64 locations in 11 states.
I also create content and have built an incredible community of like minded entrepreneurs, investors, and operators online.
My tweets routinely garner 30-50M impressions per month. My content has received more than 1.8 billion views online.
I write a weekly email that is sent to 215,000+ people.
I have recorded and released over 300 podcast episodes.
Over the last few years, I’ve started a number of other growing businesses across industries.
My portfolio employee more than 300 people today.
