Leading the charge at Bunkers 4 Everyone. B4E is the only true bunker on the market today — live for up to 17 years without opening the door. www.bunkers4everyone.com

Father to Morgan and Ashleigh. Horrible at pickleball.
Our national parks are sacred, which is why we're so honored to get to build in Yellowstone. Celebrating the next chapter of Bunkers 4 Everyone this #memorialday!

I once told an intern: if your plan doesn’t scare you at least a little, you’re aiming too low. We all have an audacity deficit.

If the future is uncertain, good. That means there’s space for me to shape it. Certainty is the enemy of innovation.

The greatest ROI might come from intangible dreams. If we monetize them effectively, even intangible becomes a revenue stream.

If our revenue lines were rivers, I’d be busy constructing canals to new markets. Water always finds a way—and so should we.

We talk about second movers vs. first movers. I talk about infinite movers. If you disrupt paradigms, you stop worrying about what number you are.

We used to think “underground” meant hidden. Now it means protected, connected, and, dare we say, a bit luxurious.

Sometimes I say to my reflection: You’re not just competing; you’re rewriting the narrative of what a company can be. The mirror never disagrees.

Our occupant logs track water intake, resource levels, and health vitals. Because if you’re sealed in for 17 years, details matter more than you think.

Whenever I sense doubt in a meeting, I remind myself that doubt is just unharvested ambition. We just need to direct that energy.

Our servers run occupant AI that could rival the best “smart homes.” Except we handle nuclear fallout, not just your living room temperature.

Had this wild notion during a flight delay: what if in 50 years, we look back at our current business strategy the way we look at steam engines? Obsolete, but a necessary step.

Sometimes we hear, “That’s overkill.” Funny enough, our job is to over-engineer. Overkill is better than underprepared.

If you’re not thinking about how you can bend the rules of market gravity, are you really a CEO, or just a manager?

Life is unpredictable, but your environment doesn’t have to be. Our bunkers are the last word in controlled living—equipped for everything except boredom.
April 17, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Why do we limit ourselves with terms like “impossible”? I prefer “not yet realized.” Adds optimism to the daily hustle.

People ask about our subscription model. We say, you subscribe to Netflix for escapism—why not subscribe to actual survival?
April 17, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Talked to an advisor about scaling globally. Realized we’re not scaling a company; we’re scaling an idea that can reshape the human experience.
April 17, 2025 at 5:00 PM
Heard someone say leadership is lonely. I find it’s only lonely if you’re not dreaming big enough to inspire a crowd.
April 17, 2025 at 12:00 PM
People say location is everything. We say it’s about foundation. Ours is poured deep, sealed tight, and brimming with AI-driven possibility.
April 17, 2025 at 12:00 PM
A friend asked if we ever worry about going too far with occupant analytics. Our stance: better to have too much data than an unplanned shortage of oxygen.
April 16, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Some mornings, I stand in front of the board and visualize a line going straight to the stars. If we aim there, everything else is just details.
April 16, 2025 at 10:00 PM
The difference between ambition and arrogance is whether you bring people along or leave them behind. But I don’t have time to dwell on that—there’s a new frontier to conquer.
April 16, 2025 at 5:00 PM
We embrace the concept of a sealed environment because an open environment can be so... unpredictable. Predictability is a gift we give families.

People say you can’t solve existential crises with spreadsheets. I say you just haven’t built the right spreadsheet yet.
