The biggest financial lessons I remember learning as a child were “spend less than you make” and when I went to my father and told him I wanted a paintball gun. He replied, “Great! Do you have any money?” Sheepishly I admitted that I did not. And he said, “Well, it looks like you need to get some!” That was the real beginning of my wealth-building journey. I wanted that paintball gun. Bad. Mowing neighbors lawns, taking care of their pet goats (I do not like goats), cashiering at the local grocery store, bussing tables at the local Italian restaurant, cart bag staff at the local golf course: I went all out. All out is the only way I know how to go. Anyway, I bought that paintball gun, and I was very proud of myself the day it arrived in the mail.

I was a client for 2 years before I became a practitioner. I got my first policy just to see if it worked the way they said it did, and it did. It was, in fact, better than they had said. I will never go back to the world’s way of banking. Not now that I know this way.

When properly executed, the infinite banking concept is something that results in a lifestyle of ongoing adventure, learning, and discovery. I love sharing that process with people. The impact of the infinite banking concept is way beyond “numbers” – it gives people the joy of taking back control and creating freedom. That is powerful! I love working with clients who crave the truth, and are willing to do whatever it takes to put the truth into practice.

When I’m not at work, you can find me spending as much time as I possibly can with my wife and 4 boys, at the piano, or if it’s November, probably up a tree with a bow and arrow!
