Chris is an average guy who had a white-collar job in the corporate world and, for decades, followed the only path he knew, the 401K Highway to Mediocrity. This worked relatively well until his mid-forties when he experienced an illiquidity event where he lost 55% of his assets and thousands of dollars per month in cash flow. Then, Chris read Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, and his mind was opened to a different type of investing, investing in real assets and private deals mostly insulated from the stock market's volatility, risk, and taxation. In just nine years, Chris recouped his losses and multiplied his net worth many times over and now shares his experience and knowledge with you through his book Get off Your A$$ and Manage Your Money: Why You Need Alternative Investments, speaking, and his alternative investment blog at TheProlificInvestor.net.
