Kevin D. May is an entrepreneur, lifelong learner, and passionate advocate for financial education. Over the years, he has started and operated a wide range of businesses, including a real estate brokerage, rental property management company, construction firm, and retail electronics store. Alongside these ventures, he has built a rental portfolio of approximately 120 single-family and small multifamily properties. Starting with limited resources, Kevin relied on resourcefulness, hard work, and an insatiable drive to learn—qualities that have defined his journey.

Growing up in a middle-class family, Kevin’s parents instilled strong values of discipline, education, and ethics while providing a loving and supportive environment. Though the family lived comfortably, financial limitations often meant hearing “we can’t afford that,” sparking Kevin’s desire to live a life of abundance. This foundation inspired him to work tirelessly to achieve financial freedom while remaining committed to teaching his children the value of a dollar and the importance of making wise financial decisions.

Kevin’s entrepreneurial path has been anything but conventional. He describes himself as having “fallen backward” into most of his businesses, often without a clear master plan. For example, his journey into real estate began at age 21 when he noticed his neighbor paying $1,000 in rent while his own mortgage was $602. Recognizing an opportunity, he took out a second mortgage on his home to purchase a rental property. This hands-on approach, coupled with trial and error, became the blueprint for his success. “I learned what to do by learning more of what not to do,” Kevin explains—a lesson that fuels his passion for helping others avoid the same mistakes.

Driven by a love of learning, Kevin devours 50-75 non-fiction books annually, often re-reading his favorites to deepen his understanding. His curiosity spans topics like asset protection, financial products, legal systems, and business operations. However, he is quick to admit that his desire to become an expert in everything is something he’s working to temper. Over time, he’s discovered his strengths lie in optimizing and operating businesses rather than launching and scaling them—a realization that has sharpened his focus.

Kevin’s journey is defined by a simple yet powerful mission: to help others achieve financial freedom. Through

, his members-only educational platform, Kevin empowers individuals and families with the knowledge and tools to build, grow, and preserve wealth. His ultimate goal is ambitious yet deeply personal—to create a $1 billion annual positive impact by 2035 by helping others increase their income, grow their net worth, and reduce waste in their lives.

Despite his accomplishments, Kevin remains grounded by his belief in the value of hard work and discipline. He is particularly passionate about equipping the next generation with financial literacy, with plans to develop a comprehensive system to teach children about wealth creation starting as early as age three. For Kevin, true success isn’t just about building wealth; it’s about leaving a legacy of knowledge, empowerment, and opportunity for generations to come.

Kevin’s story is proof that financial freedom is within reach for anyone willing to learn, adapt, and take action. Through his platform and personal mission, he invites others to join him in engineering a future of abundance and possibility.
