The Dream isn't free.
Somebody has to buy it.
Twenty years ago a Marine started buying it, one house at a time. Today the work is bigger — rebuilding the neighborhoods America forgot, block by block, zip by zip.
The Thesis
Capitalism without conviction is just extraction.
The path is well-worn: rentals, rehabs, builder, developer. Twenty years in, the answer keeps pointing to one place — the Missing Middle. Underserved infill neighborhoods of Texas where demand is loud and supply walked away.
Pick a zip code worth fighting for. Run the play. Build the houses families chasing the Dream can actually buy.

Marine with a plan.
Texas-focused. Boots on every job site. Walks every comp, every contractor, every draw. Twenty years pointed to one mission: rebuild the underserved neighborhoods that built America in the first place.
