  • Chuck Taylor: Trouble Maker Turned Entrepreneur

    Trouble maker turned entrepreneur. I grew up in a small town in Central Texas. Early in life, I was a good kid who made straight As & Bs and attended church on a regular basis. However, as I graduated high school and had a child at an early age, I allowed my emotions and lack of better judgement to steer me in the wrong direction. After several years of doing drugs, going to jail a handful of times, and almost killing myself (from poor choices), I decided it was time for a change and began my path on self-improvement. I was blessed enough to find a mentor just when I needed one. From there, I would make several failed attempts to start my own business as I continued to improve myself as a person. Eventually opening a bar on 6th street was my first semi-successful endeavor. Shortly after, I found myself wholesaling real estate. I started my real estate career in his early 20’s buying and selling real estate notes. This would be the foundation that would help me start, what is now, a successful real estate business. Now, my brother (who is also my business partner) and I diligently work to improve the efficiency of our business and adapt to the ever changing marketplace. I enjoy traveling with my wife, spending time with our dog Hurley, and hanging out with friends and family. It's my passion to share the principles I've learned in the past 15 years as I've relentlessly pursued becoming the best version of myself that I could possibly be.

    PS. I'm addicted to fitness.
