Principal Fund Manager @ Oak and Vine Upstream Energy Fund | Real Estate Investing, Syndications

What if we lived on 10% and gave 90% away?

I’m an entrepreneur at heart and an alternative asset fund manager who loves educating faith-driven investors on how to invest in alternative assets like real estate and energy.

Can you multiply money and impact with your current investing strategy?

I’m on a mission to build a thriving business that propels generosity—helping investors multiply their income so they can multiply their impact.

I spent 15 years in ministry developing leaders and building systems that empowered people to thrive. Now, I help people invest, train leaders, and build scalable systems that create lasting impact.

… And I help leaders get the #TripleWin:

✅ Winning at Work – Building scalable, high-impact businesses
✅ Winning with Family – Creating financial freedom for the people they love
✅ Winning in Community – Investing in opportunities that serve a greater purpose

As the VP of Efficiency and Innovation at Rise48, I focus on:
→ Streamlining systems to help our investors and team operate at peak efficiency
→ Developing scalable processes to support growth and maximize returns
→ Optimizing investor experience so they can confidently invest in high-quality, cash-flowing multifamily real estate

As the founder of Oak and Vine Capital, I focus on partnering with world-class operators in the best asset classes. I’ve served as a General Partner and Managing Partner in multiple real estate and energy syndications. 

My mission is clear:
→ To invest in businesses that create Kingdom Impact and empower investors to do the same.

Let’s multiply your resources for greater Kingdom impact.

The past 5 weeks I've been suffering from nasty headaches and double vision. Will you pray for my blood patch appointment tomorrow at 6am?

I woke up 4 weeks ago with debilitating headaches, and after several rounds of doctor appointments, blood work and CT and MRI found

1. I have lymes disease
2. I have a pinhole size leak in my spine, causing my brain to sag, headaches and double vision.

my Pastor at church asked me 2 weeks ago for an update after he saw my prayer request. I mentioned I was trying to see a specialist, and that I was scheduled for January.

he asked if it was a certain neuro opthamologist and I said YES. He knew him.

he sent a text and I saw him the next day and discovered that my problems were likely not lymes but rather the spine leak.

tomorrow I go in for a blood patch at 6am.

Will you pray with me?
1. PRAISE - That I was able to connect with the specialist
2. For a successful procedure tomorrow and
3. No more headaches and healed double vision

Thanks to my wonderful family for driving me around, picking up the home and jobs a lot more and bearing with my pirate patch.

Isaiah 26:3–4 (ESV) — 3 You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock.

No alternative text description for this image

Procedure was a success. No more headaches. Vision improving

Amazed and grateful at the amount of people reaching out to check on me

in an age where social media can be so divisive this week showed me its power for good and connection 

For connecting in real life
For checking in on friends
For praying for one another

The real power is taking social connections into real conversations

DMS
Zoom meetings
In person coffee meet ups

I’m learning a lot and have a lot to learn

But being human and just being real is what people are craving

Real authentic relationships 

Grateful for you all being real and checking in.

Do you find it easy or challenging to connect through social media?

6 Months ago we marked a moment my son will never forget.

Alongside three other dads and their sons, we celebrated the transition from boyhood to manhood.

Inspired by The Intentional Father by Jon Tyson,
we built a full day of adventure, challenge, and blessing.

→ Sunrise bike ride
→ Hearty breakfast with the dads
→ Time at the gun range
→ All-out paintball battle
→ Knighting ceremony at an overlook in St. Paul
→ And a feast at Fogo de Chão to finish the day

Each dad stood before his son, sword in hand,
and publicly declared,

“You are now entering a new season and chapter, may you trust in the Lord 
With all of your heart, all of your strength and all of your soul”

Now is the time for more young men and women to rise up
→ the journey is just beginning
→ the real work of shaping, praying for and guiding
→ the input from peers, and wise grandparents

But we need more:

More intentionality.
More fathers speaking life.
More moments that mark the shift from child to adult.

Let’s raise sons who know who they are
and daughters who know what kind of man to look for.

This book was a catalyst but the vision was inside.
I want Isaac to know
→ who he is and whose he is
→ who he is becoming
→ and take steps of courage to continue to learn

It doesn’t happen overnight. (This is a season)
I’m not expecting perfection (more will be learned through failure)
I’m going to fail (but we have one to look to who is perfect)

Will you pray for us?

We marked the start 6 months ago, but the real work is the day-in, day-out mentorship, discipleship, and most importantly, our presence.

Pray
Proverbs 3:5-6: ‘Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.’
1 cor 16:13-14 ‘Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love.’

Ryan owned a duplex for nine years.

Great asset. Tough experience.

He wanted passive, not a second job.

→ One vacancy used to crush him
→ Repairs were unpredictable
→ Time was the real cost

Large multifamily changed that.
One vacancy barely moves the numbers.
Systems replace stress.

High-income leaders don’t need more jobs. They need scale.

𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘥:
The moment you stop trading time for returns, your investments start compounding in ways effort never could.
Wealth grows fastest when you’re no longer the bottleneck.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟭 If you want passive income that doesn’t feel like a second job.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝟮 If you want a simple breakdown of how multifamily reduces risk.

What if the risk you fear is actually the doorway to multiplication
Ever notice how the right opportunities appear when you finally decide to act

Today I have invested in sixteen syndications
Multifamily
Oil and gas
Industrial
Private credit

And I really like multifamily in Q4
This is the season to take advantage of bonus depreciation
This is the season to capture tax savings
This is the season when action creates impact

A friend shared something honest with me recently
“We have wanted to invest for a long time
We are just afraid to begin”

I get that
Fear shows up every time you stand at the edge of a new season

Before my first investment
I felt the same hesitation
The same doubt
The same questions

What if I get it wrong
What if this is not the right time
What if I fail

But here is what I learned

→ Fear is not a signal to stop
→ Fear is often the threshold of growth
→ God forms us through steps of obedience

It all started with one step
One decision
One moment of courage

And for so many leaders
This season is about stewardship
Not perfection
Not timing the market
Not waiting for certainty

Because here is the deeper truth

It is not about the money
It is about the impact you can create
With the resources God entrusts to you

When you grow resources
You grow generosity
You grow influence
You grow your ability to serve

This is about stewardship
This is about impact
This is about becoming who God designed you to be

→ One decision can shift your entire trajectory
→ One step can move you into a new season of obedience and impact

If you want to talk through that first step, reach out
I will walk you through it

Want to walk through this with someone who has done it sixteen times?
Want help overcoming the fear of your first investment?

whats one decision that has shaped your investing?

$50,000 becomes $3,200,000
But waiting one year costs you $1,600,000

What does waiting one more year actually cost you?

Most people think the cost is small.
But the math tells the truth.

If you invested fifty thousand dollars today and it doubled every five years, here is what happens.
Over thirty years, that money doubles six times.

$50,000 becomes $3,200,000

But if you wait just one year
You lose the final doubling cycle
Your return gets cut in half

Your fifty thousand dollars still grows
But now it becomes only $1,600,000

Waiting one year does not cost a little
Waiting one year costs $1,600,000

And this surprises most people.
Waiting one year
Waiting two years
Waiting three years
Waiting five years
All cost the same amount

Once you miss the final doubling cycle
You cannot get it back

And Q4 magnifies this more than any other season.
Invest today and you receive bonus depreciation this tax year
You can reduce what you owe
You can offset passive gains
You can keep more of what you earn

The delay is where most people lose
Not the investment
The delay

→ One year of action builds momentum
→ One year of waiting erases a full doubling cycle

But here is the deeper truth.
It is not even about the money.
It is about the impact you can create with the resources God entrusts to you.

When your money grows
Your generosity grows
Your influence grows
Your ability to serve grows

You multiply what you have so you can multiply what you give
You steward well so you can bless well
You create margin so you can create impact

If you want to explore this before the year ends, reach out
This is my final offering of the year

Curious what bonus depreciation could do for you this year
Want to compare investing now versus investing next year

But very few have the infrastructure to support it.
 
That’s why our Rise48 Fund of Funds program exists.

Ryan didn’t invest for returns.

He invested for purpose.

His deeper why:
Supporting a mission he believes in.

Alternative investments gave him room to:
→ Free up time
→ Increase giving
→ Support causes close to his heart

Money is a tool.
Impact is the mission.

You get clarity the moment you realize wealth isn’t the destination.
It’s the vehicle.

When your money aligns with your mission, fear loses its power and purpose takes over.

What mission are you building toward?
Comment "𝗣𝗔𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗩𝗘" if you need clarity on where to start

How long have you been thinking about investing without acting on it
Ever notice how fear grows louder right before your biggest breakthrough

A friend texted me today.
He has been receiving my alternative investment emails for over a year.
He has watched deals come and go.
He has talked with his spouse.
And he finally admitted something real.

“We really want to do this. We are just afraid.”

I get that.
I felt that same fear before my first deal.
The fear of the unknown.
The fear of doing something new.
The fear of getting it wrong.

Here is what I have learned.

→ Every investor starts with fear
→ Every investor starts with one decision
→ Every investor starts with one step

Today I have invested in sixteen syndications.
Multifamily.
Oil and gas.
Industrial.
Private credit.

But it all began with one moment of courage.

And right now is one of the most timely seasons to take that first step.
Q4 is when many high earning leaders have gains to offset.
Multifamily provides bonus depreciation that can reduce what you owe this year.

You can invest.
Reduce taxes.
Own real assets.
And finally start the journey you have been thinking about for months or years.

→ Do not let fear sit in the decision seat

If you have been on the sidelines, reach out.
I am hosting one final end of year opportunity.

Are you open to exploring the one question that would remove your hesitation?

Want me to walk you through how bonus depreciation actually works and how it could help you this year?

Most people look at a fund-of-funds structure and see a capital solution.
 
At Rise48, we see a scaling engine.
 
Here’s the truth: 

When deal flow accelerates, speed becomes your competitive edge.

Our fund-of-funds partners give us the ability to move fast, take down larger assets, and stay aggressive in high-growth markets.

What our partners tell me they value most:

→ Leverage our acquisitions machine
→ Institutional-grade underwriting behind every deal
→ Custom marketing content for their investor base
→ Partnering with a team built to execute at scale
 
As we head into 2026 with some of the strongest opportunities we’ve seen in years, the right partnerships will be the difference between watching deals happen and executing them together.

→ Message me if you want a walkthrough of how the structure works
→ Comment “FOF” to join one of my upcoming group training calls to see if it’s a fit.

10 ideas of ways to serve your community this Thanksgiving season + editable bingo card

1. invite a neighbor for a meal. It sounds so challenging, but increase the scale of your recipe

2. take a few extra minutes to rake your neighbor's yard. We all have trees.

3. bake an extra loaf of bread. We're getting into the sourdough, and it's easy to 2x the recipe

4. create something beautiful and share it. Recipe. Art. Music.

5. offer to bring in the mail when your neighbors travel.

6. offer to take care of (shoveling) or other items when your neighbors travel.

7. drop off a card with a picture and a note of what you appreciate about your neighbor.

8. drop off a gift card to your favorite restaurant; just spread the joy!

9. serve food at a local kitchen or pantry.

10. Say "no" to some invitations so you can say yes to the right ones.

We all need help coming up with ways to love our community.

How or where do you show up to serve people?

Most people only see the offering email
 
They never see the engine behind it
 

 
The real work happens long before a deal hits your inbox
 

 
Every property we pursue goes through a rigorous review
 
Dozens of assumptions
 
Hundreds of data points
 
A full risk and opportunity filter
 

 
And today we’re opening that process up for you
 

 
Jeremy Dyer 🎙️ and Koushik C. are hosting a live session inside the Fundamental Forum
 
A free community where investors learn how commercial real estate really works
 

 
They’re walking through the exact framework Rise48 uses to underwrite a deal
 
What metrics matter
 
What assumptions we challenge
 
And how we decide if a property is worth presenting to investors
 

 
If you want more confidence in the deals you evaluate
 
If you want to understand why some properties stand out and others don’t
 
If you want a clearer lens for making better investment decisions
 

 
This session will help you level up

Grateful for your prayers will update after procedure this am

Jason spent three decades investing in public markets.

- Stocks
- Mutual funds
- Index funds
- Quarterly swings

Then he shifted part of his IRA into private real estate and realized something important.

Real assets don’t react to headlines.
They don’t swing with election cycles.
They don’t move because someone tweeted.

They produce income.
They preserve principal.
They create stability.

Stability is a strategy.
When your retirement plan is built on assets that don’t panic, you don’t either.
