Some one reading this might think: "That's weird. He's got a blog with some personal stuff (ie: pictures and fun stuff etc.) and then he posts in another blog about Real Estate and the business aspects of his life too!!!"
Here's what I'm thinking. There are TONS of people who I have known for years. Friends, family, acquaintances etc. and they know absolutely NOTHING about my "job" and what I "do".
On the flip side...there are MANY past and present clients who don't know alot about my personal life and what I "do".
Since both of my worlds are so affected by the other...I figured I'd just let everyone in on it and give you a taste of the other side of me that you may not have know.
If you know me in the "business world", here are some things that you might not have know about me:
1). I was born and raised in the OC area.
2). I come from a pretty musical family and I in fact played the drums for about 8 years. I still love to play...just no place for a drum set at this point.
3). My brother was in "Blue Man Group" for 3 years and I made it to the last cut in New York on 2 seperate occasions. It didn't pan out....but...what a great experience. Below is a picture of me during the last audition.
4). I was into every extreme sport that you could think of. I rode BMX bikes in a parade at Disneyland where I would do tricks on an off of a giant 80ft long moving float.
5). I met my wife Megan Dragon while working at Disneyland.
6). We love to travel, and I have been all over the US, Europe and Japan.
7). There was a period of time where I would throw myself off of buildings for money. Ok. Let me re-phrase that. I worked at Knott's Berry Farm on the stunt team and performed in the Wild West Stunt Show in the Wagon Camp and also in "The Hanging" for the annual Halloween Haunt stunt show in Calico Square. Below is a picture of me on a "regular" day at Knott's...
8). I got MARRIED on May 12th 2007 to my better half....Megan Dragon!
9). I LOVE to meet new people and am always the person you can turn to for help or just a good talk! I love deep conversations on passionate issues. I love to pick people's brains.
and.......the last one........
10). I was a HUGE baby!!!!
I hope, that after reading that...you have a little better idea about who I really am and what is important in my life.
In the next post....I'll fill in everyone on what they don't know about my Business life!!!
