The Path From Boots
To Bankroll
Scarcity Mindset
Raised by hardworking grandparents in South Denver, Brett broke generational financial patterns and adopted a wealth-building mindset grounded in action.
Service
From serving in the Navy in Japan to working as a firefighter, EMT, and police officer, Brett’s life of service forged discipline, clarity, and a mission-first mindset.
Failure & Resilience
Business failures, stock losses, and early money mistakes didn’t stop him. They became fuel. He learned, adjusted, and gained momentum.
The Pivot
He returned to school in his 50s, then pivoted to real estate, residual income, and short-term rentals that outpaced traditional long-term plans.
The Plan
He built wealth using systems: budgeting, emergency reserves, diversified investments, tax strategies, and legal protection with trusts and LLCs.
Millionaire Status
In about 30 months, Brett went from zero to millionaire. Today, his legacy continues through a family trust and a strategy of giving back.
