Hi there! I’m the Man Overseas, a 43-year-old from Houston, TX, who in 2015, took a year-long sabbatical from a lucrative sales job in the States to travel the world on passive real estate income.
After one year abroad, I discovered the FIRE (financial independence retire early) community, and have become a proverbial card-carrying member.
I worked in corporate America through my 20s and early 30s, using a side hustle to accelerate savings & investments (up to 80% of income). In 2003, I started creating multiple income streams, which enabled me to buy my freedom from mandatory work after only 12 years in the workforce.
This blog is a project borne out of a desire to share what I’ve learned. I write about real estate investing, self-development, travel, and other life lessons gleaned from years of study & observation.
I now coach aspiring millionaires in a 1-on-1 capacity who wish to retire early.

I married Lady Overseas in May ’18. My bride and I prioritize simplified living over monthly payments, experiences over things, and exciting projects over a steady job. Our daughter celebrated her 3rd birthday in January, so Baby Overseas will join us overseas in Summer ‘24
My journey hopefully inspire you to accelerate your own path toward “living the dream,” which has become an empty phrase thanks to the office d-bag. But I’ve taken it back.
