Currently learning Texas Real Estate Law, Contracts, Marketing, and Investments. My instructors are highly successful Sales Agents, Brokers, and Networkers. Additionally these instructors are veterans retired from the US Army with equally successful 20+ year careers. The classroom instruction is graduate level with strong emphasis on Integrity, Character, and Competence. The Mentorship received from the instructors in the classroom is premium. I am not only grateful for the mentorship and problem solving systems these instructors freely pass to their students, but, I am very encouraged that American Integrity and Character in the professional community is alive and growing. It is serving as an immune system to many of the economic cancers our nation faces. Show less

The mission of my company is to advise the client on a well educated financial investment of antique and collectible firearms. As a secondary market, military antiques demonstrated a solid value investment. Unlike newly produced commercial firearms, the antique looses no value upon purchase and the finite number of like kinds prevent market saturation. Keys to this investment as with all investments is homework, research, analysis and passion. Do your home work and manage your investments. Show less
