About

Following a full career in the medical device industry in which I continue to provide consulting services, I am focusing on growing our real estate investments, our property management business - StepsAway Montana, LLC, and our construction company - Rafter MT Construction, LLC through organic growth and micro private equity acquisitions. These subsidiary businesses are managed by StepsAway Asset Management, Inc. I am open to short-term rental property acquisition, renovation and property management opportunities in the Rocky Mountain West "StepsAway" from National Parks and other destination locations. We all know "money talks". Well Med-Tech Money Talks loudly if invested well. I invite all medical device industry professionals to join us to discuss Money, Investing and Real Estate in our Skool community: https://www.skool.com/med-techmoneytalks/about It's FREE!
