Timmy has a bachelor’s degree in computer science and is a Sergeant Marine Veteran who has been out for 2 years. He is an Alumni in Pi Kappa Alpha. He has three older brothers who are 9, 11, and 14 years older than him. The brothers are all successful in their respective fields: the two who are 9 and 11 years older are both computer programmers, while the brother who is 14 years older is involved in construction management, was a Marine, and owns sober homes. Although he is more aligned with what his oldest brother is doing, he aspires to achieve much more. He initially looked into airbnbs with Robuilt, then watched videos of Pace with the collaborations, and subsequently, came across Jamil. Timmy resonates more with Jamil’s approach, so he joined Astroflipping. Timmy has been a part of Astroflipping since April 2023, and he quit his job in June 2024 to pursue wholesaling full time. His ultimate goal is to own apartment complexes (with a 10x Mentor mentality), generate significant passive income, build generational wealth, and eventually, guide all his friends and family to success.
