Build Real
Income.
Real Businesses. Real Systems.
30+ years building, scaling, and advising service-based businesses across insurance, real estate, construction, logistics, and federal contracting. No fluff. No shortcuts. Just execution.
I Don't Build Content.
I Build Businesses.
For over 30 years, I've been in the trenches building, scaling, and advising service-based businesses across insurance, real estate, construction, logistics, and consulting.
I operate across private enterprise, federal, state, and municipal environments. I've helped create multiple six- and seven-figure operations by focusing on the fundamentals most people overlook: Execution, Systems, Accountability, and Leadership.
Experience teaches a few things quickly: clarity without execution creates frustration. Purpose without skill creates burnout. Motivation without systems creates noise. Execution is the real advantage.
Work With Me
"I don't believe work competes with purpose. I believe work reveals it."
30+ Years of Real Operator Experience
Not theory. Not a course. Six industries, multiple seven-figure operations, and three decades of building, scaling, and leading from the front.
Staffing & Labor Management
"Managing a multi-million dollar operation before most people had their first real job."
At 24 years old, I was managing a multi-million dollar staffing agency — coordinating labor across construction, warehouse, office, and skilled trades. Business development, client acquisition, job scheduling, and workforce management were all on my plate simultaneously. That early pressure built the operational instincts I've used in every business since.

- ◆Business development & client acquisition
- ◆Labor scheduling across construction, warehouse, and office sectors
- ◆Managing diverse workforce pipelines under real production pressure
Health Club Industry
"Corporate membership sales with household names before corporate wellness was a trend."
Moved into the health club industry where I developed corporate employee membership programs with some of the largest brands in the region — Trane, Whirlpool, and limousine manufacturers across Arkansas. This was where I sharpened my B2B sales approach: identifying the right decision-maker, building a value proposition that served both the company and its employees, and closing at the corporate level.

- ◆Corporate employee membership development
- ◆B2B sales to Fortune-level brands
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana
"One of the youngest top producers in the state. Six figures by 28."
I entered the insurance industry at 27 and became one of the youngest high-performing sales representatives at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana. By 28, I had broken top sales records and crossed into six-figure income. But what mattered more than the numbers was what I learned to teach: how to show up on calls, make appointments, close clients on the benefits they actually needed, and build a repeatable system that other agents could follow. I trained and mentored other agents to replicate the same results.
- ◆Top sales records at Blue Cross Blue Shield of Louisiana
- ◆Six-figure income achieved by age 28
- ◆Developed training systems for new agents
- ◆Coached agents on prospecting, appointment-setting, and closing
Allstate Agency — Dealership Integration
"Built one of the top-performing dealership insurance agencies in the state."
I developed and scaled an Allstate agency embedded within one of the largest car dealerships in the state — a model that required integrating insurance sales into a high-volume retail automotive environment. The agency grew to become one of the top-performing dealership agencies in Louisiana, combining cross-sell strategy, staff training, and operational systems that produced consistent results in a competitive environment.
- ◆Built Allstate agency inside a major car dealership
- ◆Grew to top-performing dealership agency in the state
- ◆Cross-sell integration between automotive and insurance sales
- ◆Staff training and performance management
Real Estate — Flipping, Acquisition & Team Leadership
"One of the youngest team leaders to start and scale a new market center past 100 agents."
Starting in 2000, I entered real estate through flipping and acquisition — learning the mechanics of property valuation, renovation, and resale under real market conditions. From there, I became one of the youngest team leaders to start and scale a new market center, growing it past 100 agents. For over two decades, I have continued working with hundreds of clients across real estate services — buying, selling, investing, and advising. The business is still active today.
- ◆Real estate flipping and acquisition from 2000
- ◆One of the youngest market center team leaders in the region
- ◆Scaled new market center to 100+ agents
- ◆Active real estate services for hundreds of clients, 2000–present
Exterior Maintenance Services & Startup Equity Partnerships
"Family-owned. National clients. And equity stakes in multiple verticals."
In 2015, I co-founded a family-owned exterior maintenance company specializing in lawn care, maintenance, and exterior services for top property management corporations and national retail chains. The client roster includes Lowe's, RaceTrac, Take 5 Car Washes, schools, and state and city municipalities. Alongside this, I have partnered with multiple startups as an equity partner across several business verticals — bringing operational architecture, market strategy, and execution frameworks to early-stage companies.

Five Pillars of Real Business
Cashflow & Credit
"Credit is the backbone of real wealth — if you know how to use it."
Most people treat credit like a score, not a tool. Separate your personal credit from business credit immediately. Real operators know debt is capital, not cash in hand.
#CashflowStrategyExecution & Systems
"Ideas don't move the needle. Execution does."
If your business is not systematized, you're running a job disguised as entrepreneurship. Systems are your repeatable, scalable muscle. There's no shortcut around the unglamorous work.
#SystemsForGrowthAI Leverage
"AI isn't about replacing people. It's about amplifying operators."
Dreamers get lost chasing tools. Operators get results by integrating AI into workflows. I built a system that cuts proposal prep time by 50%. That's hours back every week.
#AIForBusinessReal Business & Contracting
"Federal contracting isn't a handout. It's a battlefield."
8(a) is a tool — not a business plan. Veteran-owned status opens doors only if you're ready to execute under pressure. Contracts don't equal wealth. Cashflow management, staffing, and performance do.
#FederalContractingLeadership & Purpose
"Leadership is about W.O.R.K — Will, Ownership, Responsibility, and Knowledge."
Passion is currency only if it drives action. Leading from the front means getting your hands dirty, owning mistakes, and demanding the same from your team. Purpose fuels resilience, but discipline builds the business.

What Happens When You Execute.
Real results from real operators who stopped waiting and started building.
Rene' doesn't give you theory — he gives you a blueprint. Within 90 days of working with him, I had my first federal contract proposal submitted and a real cashflow plan in place. The clarity alone was worth every dollar.
I came in thinking I had a business. Rene' showed me I had a job. He restructured how I thought about systems, credit, and scaling. Three months later I had my first business line of credit and two new service contracts.
The W.O.R.K. framework changed how I lead my team. I stopped being the bottleneck and started being the architect. My revenue doubled in six months because I finally had the right systems and the right mindset.
Rene' is the real deal. No fluff, no motivational speeches — just direct, actionable strategy. He helped me navigate 8(a) certification and land my first government contract. I wouldn't have known where to start without him.
I've worked with coaches before. None of them had actually built what they were teaching. Rene' has 30 years of real operations behind him. That experience shows in every session — he knows exactly what works and what doesn't.
