Hi there! I’m the Man Overseas, a 42-year-old from Houston, TX, who in 2015, took a year-long sabbatical from a lucrative sales job in the States to travel the world on passive real estate income.
After one year abroad, I discovered the FIRE (financial independence retire early) community, and have become a proverbial card-carrying member.
I worked in corporate America through my 20s and early 30s, using a side hustle to accelerate savings & investments (up to 80% of income). In 2003, I started creating multiple income streams, which enabled me to buy my freedom from mandatory work after only 12 years in the workforce.
This blog is a project borne out of a desire to share what I’ve learned. I write about real estate investing, self-development, travel, and other life lessons gleaned from years of study & observation.
I now coach 18 others in a 1-on-1 capacity who wish to do what I did—retire extremely early.

I can’t promise a coaching spot right away—you’ll be added to a waitlist that moves quickly. In fact, I just opened Thursdays to accommodate more clients. Slots were filled in 36 hours, so demand is high. If there’s enough interest, I may add Fridays to the schedule. So don’t hesitate if you’re considering 1-on-1 Coaching—I cannot think of a better investment you can make in yourself.
I married Lady Overseas in May ’18. My bride and I prioritize simplified living over monthly payments, experiences over things, and exciting projects over a steady job. Our daughter Aria celebrated her 2nd birthday in January, so Baby Overseas will join us wherever we go next.
My journey, if given a wish, will inspire you to accelerate your own path toward “living the dream,” which has become an empty phrase thanks to the office d-bag. But I’m taking it back!
