What Up

I'm Tim

I’m an investing coach dedicated to helping you create passive cash flow from money you already have

so you can live a happier life.

I was a poor hick who grew up on a farm in Colorado with nothing but imagination, a mind for data, and a will of titanium.  

My love of nature and adventure didn’t line up with the “traditional life path”. So there was no way I could wait until retirement to do what I wanted.  

After a lot of trial and error, I’ve developed an amazing investment strategy. It provides a steady income that allows me to live my dream life. 

And I want to help YOU achieve the same. 

Here’s what I can do for you:

I wasn’t born into a world that had a clue about how money works. Instead my family lived in poverty — and fear. So much so that my parents abused me, and I ended up in foster care at age 11. 

A few years later, my grandparents took me in. But that threw me back into a large family that operated as a hive. Expectations were constantly forced onto me. 

I rebelled by developing a strong sense of self. Determined to escape and define my own life, I moved across the country to go to college. 

"You've got to live your own life."

Backpacking the Bonds in the White Mountains

Many years later, I hit it off with a girl who shared my love for adventure. She had a repressed upbringing too and never got the chance to travel. (Carmela’s info is here.)

We went on some awesome trips. From Florida to the Smoky Mountains, White Mountains, Greece, Alaska, and Hawaii. Each time, it got harder and harder to come back.  

I wanted a life filled with adventure, glorious bike rides, hiking, traveling, and tons of time with my Baby Cakes and our 3 cats. And I was determined to make that happen. 

I hope you’re here because you feel the same way.

 

My intuition drew me to investing. At first, I tried all the popular things. I picked growth stocks, day traded, followed the news, tried to predict trends, learned to read the financials, scoured press releases and quarterly earnings reports, and everything in between. 

I was on a ton of email lists and newsletters that make you feel like you have to chase “the next big runner!” They bait you and then won’t reveal tickers until you buy exclusive access. That got old really fast,  so it was time to figure things out for myself. 

"There's always another way to do things."

 

I made a lot of mistakes over the years — like $10,000 loss-type mistakes. But each time I’d pivot and keep trying. Eventually everything came together, and my ideal strategy was born. 

This gave us the time and money to do a 4 month road trip, which was a life changing experience. We’re tying up the loose ends of our old life right now, but we’ll be back on the road again soon. 

That brings me back to you!

 

You may not be as adventurous as us — and that’s okay! Regardless of what your ideal life looks like, I want to help you get your finances in order so you can make your dreams a reality.
