About Dave
In 1995, I was a college dropout working in a textile mill handing out parts to mechanics who fix the looms when they break down. I was making a total of $7.00 an hour. My mother was obviously quite worried and thinking I had lost my mind.
I should rewind a bit, and tell you I was a straight A student in college and studying to become a History professor. I didn’t have any money so I had to earn top grades to have any chance at a scholarship to graduate school.
One day during my Senior year, a book by Anthony Robbins called “Awaken the Giant Within” fell into my hands. I had just started reading motivational and success books and this one changed my life. I realized what I wanted to do with my life was to become an entrepreneur and businessman.
So I studied and pondered and really thought it through carefully…and quit school my last semester of college. I quickly realized that I had to earn money to eat and not sleep in a cardboard box and found my way to this textile mill in Danville, VA.
I ended up finding another book on rehabbing houses in a bookstore which gave me a direction. I quit Dan River Mills, the textile mill, and moved to Florida to invest in real estate. It took me 4 years of bouncing around different jobs as waiter, busboy, industrial supply salesmen, and leasing agent to finally start my own business.
Eventually, I started a business renting apartments with a partner that grew to 23 employees and made Inc Magazine’s “Inc 500 List” for the 500 fastest growing privately owned companies in America. We made that list 2 years in a row in 2004 and 2005. I personally own a bunch of rentals and manage other properties for my clients. I enjoy being a landlord which I have learned is a rare feeling. It gives me a lot of satisfaction keeping my clients rentals full and profitable while at the same time providing quality housing for my tenants.
