1991 - 2003
I was born in Utah in 1991. My parents had just come from Korea chasing the American dream. They worked 16-hour days running small shops, never took breaks, and rarely made it home before bedtime.
We weren’t poor, but we were far from comfortable. I grew up hearing “save every dollar, don’t take risks.”
So I did. For most of my childhood, money meant fear - something you protect, not something you grow.

At thirteen, I was washing dishes at my parents’ restaurant for five bucks an hour. I hated every minute of it - the smell, the rush, the noise.
But that’s where I learned my first real lesson: no one’s coming to save you. If I wanted freedom, I had to build it.
That mindset stayed with me when I spent two years in Seoul on a church mission - getting rejected by strangers daily. Rejection built my backbone.

After college, I took a door-to-door sales job.
Me the quiet, awkward kid who hated small talk.
That summer, I became the top rookie salesman in the company.
It changed everything. I learned that confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s built one uncomfortable day at a time. That was my first taste of growth. Not financial, but personal.

I did what I thought was right got the stable corporate job, wore the button-up, climbed the ladder. My Wife was working as a respiratory therapist. Every Sunday night, I’d get that sinking feeling in my stomach. I realized I didn’t want us to work forty years just to enjoy two days of freedom. That was the moment I started looking for another path.

In 2018, I finally listened to my cousin and got into real estate. Bought a four-plex, lived in one unit, rented out the rest and for the first time, we lived for free.
That deal changed my life. I stopped seeing money as something to save and started seeing it as something to structure.
One property became two, two became forty. By 2020, I was making more from rentals than most people did from their jobs.

By 2021, I’d built enough passive income to walk away from my 9-5. The moment I walked out of that office, I felt like I could breathe again. It felt surreal… no more clocking in, no more waiting for weekends. Just freedom, on my terms.

Now I spend my mornings with my family and my days doing what I love - living the kind of life I once thought was impossible. Helping people who want to buy their time back without quitting their jobs or taking massive risks. Some days I catch myself thinking about those road trips to California. The way freedom felt back then.
Now, I get to live that feeling every day and help other families build it for themselves.
