I'm a divorced dad of three, working my way up from night stocker to founder — building a company that gives ordinary people a real stake in something that matters. I talk about ownership, rebuilding, and making America work for the people who show up every day.

Happy Halloween: Embracing Life's Unpredictability and Joy
Grok Input:
Happy Halloween everyone! It is a great day to be a kid, and I hope that you have a fun time with your family tonight! I am going to stay home and pass out candy which will be the first time I have done that in a long time, usually I'm out with the kids trick or treating but this year I decided to stay in and see the festivities from the other side. Life is so unpredictable, and that is the joy of it. I want to encourage everyone to go out and live the unpredictability. Embrace it and enjoy all that life has to offer you!

Reflections: Finding Joy in the Unexpected
Halloween reminds me how life's twists—like a quiet night in—can bring new perspectives. It's a chance to appreciate simple joys amid the hustle.
Why This Matters for Your Journey
Unpredictability can spark creativity—in finance (adaptable plans), business (innovative pivots), and life (fulfilling moments). Embrace it to avoid stagnation.

What I'm building
America's Holding Company
Ownership for everyone
who shows up
Most people spend their whole life paying into things they'll never own. I built the opposite of that. Twenty-seven dollars a month. A Christmas ornament. And real ownership that grows every year you stay.
