Columbus, OH

Hello! I'm a serial entrepreneur currently operating a boutique corporate housing company with ~40 furnished mid term rentals.

We specialize in the MTR (mid term rental) model and focus exclusively on guests who book our furnished apartments for 30+ nights.

I can help you shorten your learning curve with all things STR / MTR including: choosing properties that have high odds of profitability, designing/furnishing to wow your guests, optimizing your turnover/cleaning processes, mastering direct marketing and advertising, and much more.

I've been a full-time entrepreneur since a just after college. My first real win in business was a valet trash & recycling company that I founded with a friend in 2010.

After growing into 5 cities and 3 states, we were acquired by the largest company in our industry.

I’ve been recognized as…
—SBA Young Entrepreneur Of The Year
—Empact 100 award at the United Nations
—Entrepreneur magazine's Top 30 Startups To Watch

…and featured in Fortune, Forbes, Time, Entrepreneur, INC, Fast Company, etc.

I enjoy sharing what I’ve learned and helping others succeed, so go ahead and schedule a call with me. :)

I look forward to meeting you!

Call me to talk about

Valet Trash and Recycling

I started a valet trash and recycling business in 2010. This was the business that made me a full-time entrepreneur. We quickly grew to 7-figures and then expanded to 5 cities across 3 states. We sold the business in 2018, marking my first successful exit as an entrepreneur. I know a *lot* about what it takes to start and succeed with a valet trash / recycling business. If you are thinking about launching a business in this industry (or still in the early stages of growth), book a call with me now. I'll save you a lot of time and money.

Travel Hacking / Planning

After selling my first company, I set aside a budget to travel the world and planned 10+ trips within the next year. But I quickly realized that the cost of flying first class and staying at the best hotels adds up quickly! So I taught myself travel hacking - the art of using creative research and/or credit card points strategies to book flights and hotels at a fraction of their normal cost (and sometimes even free). These new skills allowed me to do everything my wife/I wanted while also feeling responsible (we are frugal people by nature!). Over the past 5 years, we've taken dozens of cheap or free flights to many bucket-list places around the world. On our most recent trip to Greece, our first class flights would have cost $15,000 had we paid cash. But thanks to a single strategy, we paid $0...just $350 in taxes. Our entire 16-night trip to Greece cost less than $4,000 including premium ocean-view lodging, gourmet food, first class, flights, etc. I've gotten pretty good at finding ways to travel in style for cheap, and I love teaching others how to do the same. I can also help with general travel planning if you want to experience the *real* culture of the place you're visiting (not just the tourism side). Don't be one of those people who comes home after a week in Italy with a dozen boring photos of Michaelangelo's David on your phone but no idea how Italians really live. I know all kinds of tips/tricks to minimize stress, keep expenses low, and make sure you have an incredible experience with stories and photos you'll cherish forever. :)

Mid Term Rentals / Corporate Housing

I operate a boutique corporate housing company with 40+ mid term rentals in the Columbus, OH area. I have years of experience with Airbnb as well as direct booking strategies for mid / long stays. If you’re building a corporate housing or STR business and want to reach 7 figures as quickly as possible, book a call with me and I’ll do my best to help.
