Born and raised in the RGV, I turned my lifelong love of running into a purpose - driven mission. BMR was built on the belief that loving your neighbor can change lives - and yes, even a race director can make a difference. I create safe, empowering spaces where wellness, unity, and community thrive. Running isnt just my passion-its how I serve. If you're reading this, I believe you can make an impact too.

In this episode I talk about my encounter with Jesus Christ and what ultimately led me to decide to become a Christian and surrender my life to Christ.

.

.

If you have any questions or want to talk more in depth about anything regarding spirituality and Jesus it is welcomed. I think with all that is happening in the world today it was necessary for me to put this out there.

.

.

I recommend that if you want to give your life to Christ or want to learn more to read the book: "The Purpose Driven Life: What on Earth Am I Here For?" written by Rick Warren - Its a book that has helped me put things in perspective and navigate this journey. You can also look for it on Spotify and hear it for free as an audio book version. Link below:

God Bless and hope to shed some positivity and hope in your life that not all things are bad and there is life after death. It all starts with reaching out and wanting a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Please reach out to Angela & Marc Millis if you are interested in learning more about Rosie - Angela Millis 956-566-3051 / Marc Millis 956-408-0084...In 2013, Marc and Angela created their first Five-Year Financial Plan. The main mission was to replace Marc’s corporate income with passive income from real estate investments.

.

.

During those 5 years, they converted a primary and secondary home into rental property, purchased four rental homes as well as a 32-unit apartment complex. They realized their initial plan early and Marc left his corporate job in late July of 2017.

.

.

They then embarked on their second Five Year Financial Plan, which included investing in six additional single-family renovations, two apartment complexes (33 units) and two commercial property conversions. They created Millis Real Estate Group, LLC where they have combined residential and commercial brokerage services with their growing investment properties.

.

.

Marc has worked in real estate development for over 25 years. He has been involved in over 100 retail transactions, several multi-family transactions and numerous residential rental purchases. His experiences includes site selection, purchase contract, lease negotiation, due diligence, site development and governmental approvals and permits.

.

.

Marc has a degree in City and Regional Planning from Appalachian State University in North Carolina. He worked as a city planner before beginning his career in commercial retail real estate. He spent 15 years with Lowe’s Companies, Inc. in the Real Estate Department performing site development duties and acquisitions for new store expansion.

.

.

He acquired his real estate license in 2009 and became Director of Keller Williams Commercial in McAllen, TX for over 2 years. His last corporate position was with Academy Sports + Outdoors where he acquired new sites and negotiated leases for the company’s expansion plans. He is an Veteran Army Officer with 20 years time in service.

.

.

Angela has been in the residential real estate industry for almost 23 years. She began her career with Keller Williams as an administrator while attending the University of Texas at San Antonio, where she obtained a degree in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. She quickly moved into a full-time sales agent and within the next year was asked to become the Assistant Team Leader at her office.

.

.

In 2005, she helped launch the new Keller Williams Market Center in McAllen and four years later opened two additional offices in Harlingen and Brownsville. Angela and her team ranked #1 in recruiting, profitability and owner profit among all of the new Keller Williams Market Centers in the United States. She continues to assist clients, obtain tenants for our properties and is heavily involved in the renovation of our acquired real estate assets.
