Howdy from the metropolis of Cedar Crest, NM!
Today, My son, Colt (9 years old) and I were watching the Texas Tech and Oklahoma State basketball game (Texas Tech lost). A commercial came on for some diet food/program with Dan Marino and other celebrities. My son looks to me and says….”you should get that.” I was stunned! I replied…”Do you think I am fat.” Then he said….”Well…no….but you are not thin either.” So….after I finish writing this blog….I am taking my fat self to the gym.
First... Read Full Story

Greetings from Cedar Crest, NM
The thing I love about snowboarding/skiing is the long ride up to the top on a ski lift. Especially when you like the person next to you. Which usually I do…usually it is one of my sons. This long ride is such a great opportunity for me to spend a good 15 - 25 minutes talking to one of my sons. One on one with no escape. On my last ski lift ride with my son, Dakota, I started to share my heart to him. I told him how thankful I was to be on the lift with him... Read Full Story

Cheers from Cedar Crest, NM!
A couple nights ago, I was watching Jim Cramer on CNBC’s Mad Money. I could have sworn he was telling the audience that the stock market is still a great place to invest….as long as you invest foreign stocks. That is right, Jim was saying….don’t invest in domestic companies……buy foreign stock! Do I agree with him? I have no idea. But…wow!
Also….check out this video. Very interesting I must say. Especially when a commentator blames Martin Luther King Jr. day... Read Full Story

Greetings from El Paso, TX….
I attended a funeral today. The funeral was for “Grandma V” and I got to see family I had not seen in a long time. It will probably be a long time before I see them again. But….the funeral “got me to think’n.” No…I was not asking myself “what is the meaning of life?” But I was asking myself a question that was just as deep.
Several of the family members were getting up to the podium to speak of their favorite memories of “Grandma V.” As each family member... Read Full Story

Another sunny day in northern NM…..still plenty of snow to ski in…but there are signs that a new season is upon us.
We all know, that even if there were no signs that spring is coming, spring will still come right? So why is everyone so surprised that financial cycles happen? There are tons of people to blame (if that makes you feel better) and there are all kinds of theories on why our economy is in the state that it is in….BUT….”Cycles Happen.” And…..experienced investors make money when...

Greetings from a late night in my mess of an office…thinking of purpose…passion…and of course, freedom! And real estate?….not really.
A few months back, my business partner (Brian Robinson) and I started a company called The Ultimate Challenge. I will share more about this company in a future blog. But the premise of the company is to break the chains of cultural bondage and ride the energy of passion and purpose. Sounds like a pipe dream right? Well….ask yourself this question….What...
