From Pro Skater to $352M Real Estate Fund

How do you go from pro skateboarder…to craft brewery founder…to private-equity real estate—and still love the game? In this solo episode, I break down the exact steps I took to reinvent (multiple times), what actually worked, and the brutal lessons that forced me to level up.


Omni Fund (now open to non-accredited; $5K minimum) → https://communecapital.com/omni/


What you’ll learn (and what I wish I knew sooner):

  • The money rule that set my compass—the 50/30/20 framework—and how I reverse-engineered my “never have to work” number to ~$2–$2.5M in investable assets.
  • Why I cranked my lifestyle down to ~30–35% of income for years so I could invest the rest—and how that decision changed everything.
  • The brewery story: raising early capital, the reality of selling to MillerCoors, and why we ultimately walked away (and what happened after).
  • Reinventing into real estate: starting at square one, humbling myself, raising our first $2.5M, and learning why real estate forces discipline over “dream” returns.
  • The operator habit that keeps our company moving: one 90-minute “work ON the business” block with our C-suite every week. Try it.
  • Where we are now: 600–700 investors, 20+ properties, ~$352M under management—and why we opened access with Omni Fund (primarily SoCal multifamily).
