So introductions I suppose...

I was the VP of a large mortgage bank and lost it all in the real estate and mortgage crash. I am thrilled to say that carried some serious learnings and I consider myself blessed to be where I am today. Now it's on to jumping into the fastlane full force to support myself and my new wife with the time freedom and financial wherewithal that MJ's roadmap and this forum can bring...

Look forward to connecting with other fast laners, currently I'm in software sales in San Diego.

And an interesting side note, I met MJ and was introduced to this forum because I dropped a note into his Murcielago roadster. I will say that MJ is an incredible guy, and he truly walks his talk. I'm thrilled to be halfway through the book and it's very clear having met the man behind it that this was a labor of love and his authenticity jumps off the page. A best seller for sure. Thanks for all you do MJ and looking forward to getting involved with the forum.
