Not the famous guy from Parks and Rec!

Sales Director, husband, girl dad, St. Louisan and active real estate investor.

By day, I’m a corporate Sales Director with an MBA. I’m a husband, a proud dad of two girls, and an active real estate investor on a very specific mission.

Right now, my family is standing at two massive milestones simultaneously: my oldest daughter is starting college this fall, and my youngest is entering 1st grade. Like many high-income W-2 earners, I quickly realized that traditional cash-flow planning and standard 529 plans weren't going to cut it if I wanted to protect our hard-earned wealth.

That drove me to find a smarter way. Working alongside the team at College Funding Secrets, we acquired our first property, which we are currently transforming into a luxury-class short-term rental asset. By leveraging advanced real estate tax strategies including short-term rental bonus depreciation, we are actively:

• ⚡ Slashing our federal tax bill.
• 📈 Maximizing our financial aid eligibility.
• 🎓 Securing “free money” for my oldest daughter’s tuition while building long-term wealth.

IncomeForCollege is where I'm documenting this entire journey in real-time. I’m definitely not here to pitch a magic wand. I’m a student of these strategies, sharing the exact blueprints, opportunity costs, and tax-saving frameworks we're using to fund our daily lives and our kid's education.
