Kevin grew up surrounded by poverty in a mobile home park in North East Pennsylvania. He also faced many challenges in his childhood that led to childhood trauma. As he got older, the environment he was in meant he was also surrounded by crime, drugs and violence. Things started to head downhill for him and he was in trouble with the law a few times even before becoming an adult. 

After becoming a legal adult and realizing the third strike might be a game changer and not forgiven like the first two, while also facing the other most difficult challenges and obstacles of his life at the same time; he realized where things and his life were headed if he didn’t create a change. He felt like maybe his life would even be over if he didn’t find another way. 

At the lowest of his lows during that time of his life, he realized he needed to dig deep to find out what was worth living for and what was worth giving for; to have the strength and courage to face his fears and change his life forever. In order to make the decision and then to make the commitment, to be the one to break the cycle and create the change; the desired outcome. To be the one who would create a different life for himself and for his future family. To create the life he always wished he had, but realized it was never going to happen for him, if he didn’t make it happen for himself. 

And then he made a commitment to himself that after doing that, he would become someone who can make a difference by helping others do the same for themselves and their families. To become someone he wished he had there for him at the hardest times of his life when he most needed them. Someone who actually seemed to care. 

That secondary core mission of helping others create and live their dream life, following his primary core mission of creating and living his dream life for himself and his family, is where Kevin & Tia and DreamLife 100 all came from. 

Kevin realized that he had always excelled at school and internally had an understanding and self belief that he was meant for more, that he was capable of more than what others said he was. He cultivated his self-belief that he could and would have the life he always wanted, for him and his future family, his DreamLife. That he would do and give whatever it takes to make it happen, because there was nothing else that mattered more, not even life itself.

Kevin made a decision to start the change in his life by attending a community college where he earned an associate’s degree in electrical construction, while working full time and taking full credits of college. Through this college, there was a competitive program in place where offers were made to a few selected individuals for an apprenticeship program with the power company as a lineman apprentice. Kevin was selected and completed his 6 year apprentice program to become a journeyman lineman, a career path that would enable him to earn six figures per year.

Being a journeyman lineman for the power company is not for the faint of heart. Linemen work in the coldest of conditions in the dead of winter and the hottest conditions during the brutal summer heat. They are also subjected daily to knowing they are putting their life on the line with the work that they do, so their mind and skills must be sharp and ability to face fear must be present. Linemen are also responsible for working storms, overtime and callouts, which left very little time for much else. 

Even though he achieved a solid financial goal, he didn’t have the time freedom or the life that he truly desired.

Once he realized that his W2 would never fulfill his want of true freedom and family life that his core mission was to provide for, he started researching how he could earn the end result he was seeking. He researched and read many books, articles and podcasts and decided that owning real estate would enable him and his family to create and live the life they dreamed of. And the freedom to live life on his own terms.

He began investing in commercial real estate in 2017 and together with his wife, has amassed one of the largest privately owned mobile home park portfolios in the country, owning 100% of over 1,700 units (consisting mostly of mobile home pads) with a value of $75 million. 

Kevin has always been strongly passionate about helping others, no matter where they are starting from. That’s what Kevin & Tia and DreamLife100 is all about. 

The DreamLife100 Mission is all about helping 100 others reach time freedom and financial freedom through commercial real estate investing and helping them Create & Live their Dream Life; through sharing proven practices and principles that he’s used over the years to create the relationships, life and business he now has. 

DreamLife100 Mission Statement: We Will Help Create 100 Multi-Millionaires Through Commercial Real Estate Investing & Help Them Create and Live Their DreamLife!

When Kevin is not growing his real estate portfolio or helping others, he most loves spending the majority of his time with his wife Tia and his four children Alex (15), James (8), Mia (5), and Ava (2). He also enjoys training in martial arts, playing video games, ATV riding, shooting guns, and hiking. Lately he has been working on a passion project of building a campground and trails on his 95 acres of land that was recently purchased, to be able to enjoy as his special place where he can create special memories and experiences with the special people in his life; since that was alway a dream of his since he was a child. 

Some of Kevin’s core life principles are:

To endure the pain of discipline in order to avoid the pain of regret

To live and love with passion and commitment like no other

To always be willing to sacrifice for those I love

To always honor my commitments and live with honesty and integrity

Kevin’s Core DreamLife Mission = Love & Legacy

Tia grew up splitting her time between North East Pennsylvania and the Florida Keys. Her parents were snowbirds, so she grew up accustomed to spending the cold winter months in the tropical weather. Growing up in 2 towns each year was great from a weather perspective, but Tia found the change and constant back and forth made it hard for her to create close bonds and friendships as an adolescent and a struggle to fit in, especially as a teen. Paired with some childhood trauma, Tia found herself battling with depression, anxiety, and diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis at the age of 19. As a result, she was often alone and could always be found walking around by herself with headphones on while listening to her Walkman. Tia did find joy in movement though,  she loved to play soccer, volleyball, lift weights and run. Even though she was a bit of a lone wolf, she could always find a way to make those around her laugh with her dry and witty sense of humor, which she used as a defense mechanism to keep things light, fun and surface level. 

From a young age she always felt a sense of responsibility to take care of those around her, to do the right thing, and always stay out of trouble. She loathed the feeling of being unprepared or in trouble, which are traits she’s carried into her adulthood (with the exception of a few speeding tickets ;P).

She graduated from Penn State with her Bachelor’s Degree in Business a semester early and completed her Master’s Degree in less than 18 months by taking classes at night and weekends, while working full time as an analyst for the Department of Defense. She worked as an analyst for 10 years in the DoD. Being a Civilian in the DoD enabled Tia to grow, but also showed her that as long as she was working for someone else, she would always be constrained or limited to exist within the preset parameters and existing rules in place, no matter the effort or excellence shown in her position.

She excelled at compiling data and breaking mass amounts of complex data down to actionable facts, which she often presented to high level officials. She used her subject matter expertise, work ethic, wit, dedication and sense of humor to grow within the organization. 

Fast forward to when Tia met Kevin back in the fall of 2011. She never met anyone like him and could tell early on that she had found the one she would love forever, even though he challenged her more than anyone ever had. When Tia met Kevin also he had a 1 year old son, and not knowing if she wanted any of her own children at the time, she found herself quickly in love with Kevin and his son Alex, so much so that she and Kevin were engaged in 2012 and married in 2013. 

Tia went from never knowing if she wanted children of her own, to not being able to have any (the irony). After multiple doctors appointments and fertility doctors she began her fertility journey with Kevin in 2014. By 2016 after multiple rounds of failed treatments, they moved to IVF to conceive. They completed their first round of IVF in 2016 and got pregnant on their first try of IVF. The pregnancy was going great - good blood work results, ultrasound with a heartbeat, then it wasn’t. Tia suffered a missed miscarriage in June of 2016, and sunk into a deep depression. 

Before officially starting another IVF cycle during the holidays of 2016-2017, Tia found out she was pregnant, and she and Kevin welcomed James in September of 2017. Several years later she and Kevin wanted to expand their family further, so they did IVF again and after multiple failed cycles and embryo transfers they got pregnant with Mia (during COVID) and she was born in January of 2021. Their youngest child Ava took everyone by surprise, especially Tia & Kevin, and joined the family in December of 2023. 

Being a Mom is the accomplishment Tia is most proud of. She is eager to enjoy time with her husband and children as they grow up and grateful that she can be present with them. 

Tia’s Mission Statement can be summed up in 1 word: Harmony.

Although much of Tia’s life was imbalanced, turbulent and traumatizing at times, she continues to grow, heal and strive for harmony in her world. She is committed to be a better version of herself each day, a better wife, Mom and leader. Some of Tia’s hobbies include hanging out with the people she loves and her dogs, working out, running, escaping into a good tv series, fishing in the Florida Keys, eating really good food and sleeping.
