Thanksgiving seems like a great day to come out of the anonymous closet here on X.

I can say that this platform and our awesome #CRE community has changed my life over the past few years. I have met dozens of you in person, made friends, partners, & golf buddies here among other things. I’ve taken groups of you into the backcountry to fish & hunt and made lifelong friends here.

Back in Sept, I was sitting in the woods in Colorado elk hunting with @sweatystartup and he told me I was an idiot for being anonymous. I’m finally taking his advice, given the recent drama from a few disingenuous/bad actors here.

My name is Blake (happy to share my last name with anyone privately who DM’s). I’m 42, married, father to a 1 yr old girl & 5 yr old boy. I grew up in IN, graduated from Purdue and spent 15 years in the Vail Valley, Colorado. We moved to Ohio 3 yrs ago during COVID to be closer to family. My heart is still in the mountains and we’ll be back out West in the next few years.

I traded a “professional” career to chase my passion and worked as a fly fishing guide for well over a decade. It was incredible and I would do it all over again the same way if I could. I definitely didn’t get rich doing this but rowing a boat down a river every day was fulfilling beyond words. Worked in the construction for a handful of years after that.

~4 yrs ago I watched a video of Nick breaking down a self-storage deal & I instantly knew this/CRE would be my path forward. I thought, “if this knucklehead can do it, so can I”. Fast forward to now and I’m currently doing 2 ground up development projects on niche storage products with a few small-bay industrial properties in the works. We are just getting started and our ramp is steepening as we speak.

I also still have my W-2 as a Sales Manager (hence the semi-anonymity) and plan to phase out in 2024 to full time RE.

I can directly attribute many of these opportunities to my participation in this amazing community of professionals here on Twitter.

I’m thankful for you all and can’t wait to see the things that our small team will accomplish in the coming years. DM’s are open for anyone!

Added a few pictures of me, my family, sweaty, and one of my partners + some random guy @rdassaly (who I met on twitter) who I gave a Tool ticket to the other night. 😃🤘

Cheers & Happy Holidays to all of you beautiful people out there! 🍻🍻

@jwalkermobile Would DM you but you’re weird and don’t accept them.

Who was your guide?

[Storage Stache @StorageStache1]

@salesprocapital Well.
Shit.

Hope they can work it out. Everyone’s situation is different and hard to understand.

@TylerRatcliff17 Love how you engagement baited everyone by stealing someone else’s content.

At least give the man credit from his YouTube channel.

@golfballingpod Meh - how about spend $20 on a haircut and try minding your own business.

You get to make zero extra etiquette rules in golf until you’re under a 7 handicap.

@MissyE2024 Absolutely true.

Rain in the Midwest smells different than in the high alpine mountains too.

So funny and true. Cap Rates are bullshit.

Been saying this for so long but you said it best.

@realestate_kyle @AssetKeen Awesome! Well done.

I have dozens of these for sale across 4 projects and 3 states at the moment. 1,100-1,320 sf and up.

And a few others that are 3,000sf that we’re about to break ground on.

I sell them as condos as well. 💪
