Work Experience:
1968-1976- I worked part-time (summers and school vacation periods) as a machine operator for Telcom Systems, Inc., an underground telephone cable construction company working in the central and southwestern United States, mostly as a backhoe and rock saw operator
1976-1977- I worked as a crew supervisor full time for Telcom Systems, Inc.
1978-1984- I worked as CEO of Telcom Systems, Inc.
1982-1989- I worked simultaneously continued as CEO of Telcom Systems, Inc. and also started a 500 lot subdivision named Eagle Bay at the 78-mile marker of the Lake of the Ozarks which was very successful until 1988, when the US economy turned excessively downward after the passage of the 1986 Tax Law Act caused the Savings and Loan Crisis and dramatically affected the sales of vacation properties.
1990-1994- I worked as an Unlimited Hydroplane Promoter and Racing Sponsorship Broker
1995-1998- I led a partnership (myself and a friend) developing a 3-acre tract of land at the Keystone Ski Resort in Summit County Colorado.  Spent full time in Keystone while planning, zoning, designing and selling units of a 50-unit condominium building within walking distance of Keystone Mountain. During this period I purchased and ran a restaurant and bar across the street from the subject tract of land and worked for Keystone Inc. as a ski instructor.
1999- I returned to the Kansas City area to spend more time with my family, especially my young daughters.  I gained my license as a Missouri and a Kansas Real Estate Broker (1999).
2000-2002- Working as a real estate broker, I spent full time selling out 40 four-plexes in Lees Summit MO. brokering for the Seller who was a fraternity brother from UCM and who had begun consulting for a real estate investment group based in Florida and Connecticut.  It was during this period I met my wife Andrea who was working for a Real Estate Title Insurance company.  I hired her to get a Real Estate Brokers license and the two of us sold the 160 units of fourplexes. Some units we converted to individual “townhouses” (condominiums) and some were sold as whole fourplexes to individual investors.
2002-2006- I continued working in a loose partnership with the same group purchasing and selling out projects as small as 20 duplexes in Lees Summit, MO to rezoning and converting $40 million worth of apartments into condominiums in three packages in Houston TX.  The units were mainly in the Galleria area of downtown Houston and the Clear Lake area in the Western area of Houston.  During this period, I formed a mortgage company in Kansas City to provide financing for those condos. We did some local financing in the KC area including my own home.  We rezoned and sold eight other projects of varying sizes.
2006-2012- Working with my Keystone partner I helped plan and zone a housing subdivision in Lone Jack MO. (suburb of Kansas City MO) My wife and I bought lots in this subdivision and used IRA investor money to provide 20% of the construction money and banks for the rest.  We built 20 homes in the $130,000 range which we sold for an average profit of $30,000.  Those homes are now reselling for around $160,000.  While many of our real estate development and builder friends did not financially survive after 2008-2010, we were still selling out our homes for the same profit until 2012 when there was simply no longer any need for homes and, of course, no money for development or construction.
2012-present- I worked as a real estate investment consultant mortgage document expert for Borrowers and others caught up in the Mortgage-Backed Securities Fiasco.  I helped families represent themselves as Pro-Se for 5 years.  For the last seven years, I have made a living as a real estate investment consultant and as a writer on subjects such as security instruments, real estate loans, and what I believe is the coming retirement pension crisis and alternatives for a comfortable retirement.
2019- I have been working on a feasibility study based on marketing the Eagle Bay project as a “Tiny House” community for retirees in a vacation atmosphere.  We are considering VA housing as I have some contacts in Washington from a project that I was doing in 2015 in Iowa.
1988 to the present
I have always presented and lectured in seminars on converting IRAs and 401ks to Self-Directed IRAs in order to fund the non-bank loan work on most of the projects above.  I have taught  classes for real estate investors on how to do a 1031 Exchange correctly in order to fund the non-bank loan work on most of the projects above.
I am semi-retired and putting  on Zoom Classes giving instructional help on how individuals can represent themselves in court (pro se).
I currently have a book publishing deal with Crown Publishing based on my ten years of helping families represent themselves in both state and federal court.
