I learned life's most important lesson from playing Oregon Trail. Be the banker, money fixes EVERYTH

About Me

What is it that keeps me busy? I was a software engineer for Sprint for 4 years. Learned an amazing amount about not only computers and software, but business. So I decided to quit and try it on my own. I developed a few companies listed below, manage a few bands, and just try to spend every day making my life, and the lives of the people I love, that much better...www.HomeSweetFurniture.com

Home Sweet Furniture is a company i created, and a website i designed, to sell the same high quality furniture of every furniture store in the area at an extremely discounted price. I did this by negotiating a contract with the largest Wholesale distributor in 5 states that allows me to buy Furniture at the same wholesale cost as my distributors and sell it with 0 overhead. This allows me to profit greatly while selling the EXACT same items at 50-90% below their prices. Check it out..

The FinAnswers is a company all but disbanded, just because i simply hate the mortgage industry. I am very good at it though, and still hold my license. I do it strictly for friends and family, am always willing to help, and my website has lots of tools that are helpful as well.

FLAK and LOWKUSS are two local Kansas City Bands that I manage, I have a lot of fun with this business, and hopefully one day someone will hear these guys and make us all famous :).

Other then that, i play rugby, i try and stay active, try and get out as much as possible, and try to stay happy. I have a great family, 2 beautiful nieces, Lexi and Avianna, both of whom are the most important angels in my life and are basically my children to spoil until i find the right woman to create some new angels with.
This is true, i have tried it.
