Meet A Passive Real Estate Investing Periodontist
A Life in Motion
There was a time when I was deeply immersed in the world of natural horsemanship. I loved every moment of it—the feel of being on horseback, the art of training, the vibrant equestrian community, and the thrill of cross-country events. My heart soared with every Kentucky Derby and Triple Crown series. It was a world of passion, purpose, and deep engagement.
The Quiet Disconnection
And yet, amid the joy, a quiet dissonance grew. Even as I devoted myself to the practice, I began to feel that the horses were not sharing the same joy. Over time, this feeling expanded. What once felt like connection started to feel like control—like I was imposing rather than relating. It was a painful awakening. But in that awareness, a doorway opened.
A New Way of Being
That doorway led me to The Path of the Horse by Stormy May and the teachings of James French, founder of The Trust Technique. These new ways of being with animals—grounded in stillness, trust, and mutual respect—shifted everything. I left behind the techniques of natural horsemanship and embraced a new kind of relationship, not just with horses, but with all sentient beings.
The Story of Ranger
And that brings me to a story—not of a horse, but of a dog named Ranger.
Ranger was not mine. He belonged to a neighbor down the road, in the kind of rural area where homes are spread across fields and forest. Ranger had a home, but he lived mostly on his own terms. His owner, after tagging him with a collar, left him to wander. And wander he did—across our little cove, where everyone knew and cared about him, though no one could touch him.
No one, that is, except me.
Building Trust
Our connection didn’t happen overnight. When he first visited, I did what everyone else did—tried to pet him. He bolted. So instead, I turned my attention to my own little dog, Max. Every time Ranger came near, I lavished affection on Max. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, Ranger began to let down his guard.
One day, as I stood with my hands behind my back, I felt the soft touch of a nose. It was fleeting, but it was the beginning. Over time, the moments grew longer. Then he began to approach me face-to-face. Still, I never reached out—I let him choose. And eventually, when I did extend my hand, he met it.
From Stranger to Companion
From that point on, we were inseparable. Ranger still roamed, but he spent most of his time near my home. He joined me on hikes, lingered while I worked outdoors, and became, in every meaningful way, a companion. His trust was a gift—one earned slowly, patiently, through integrity and mutual respect.
And then, one day at the feed store, his owner confirmed what I had feared: Ranger had been struck by a vehicle. He was gone.
My heart ached, but I was grateful to have known him. Our bond taught me something foundational: Real connection can only grow from integrity. Trust emerges from presence, not pressure. True prosperity begins in the heart.
The Legacy of a Dog
That moment with Ranger wasn’t just a turning point in how I understood animals. It was a turning point in how I saw life, work, and wealth.
In time, that experience helped birth Steed Talker Capital and the Streams to Impact program—initiatives grounded in the belief that wealth is not the end goal, but a means to a more meaningful, impactful life. Just as Ranger reminded me of the power of presence, my mission now is to guide others toward wealth that flows with integrity and fuels purpose.

Ranger taught me what it means to build trust slowly, to stay grounded in the present, and to let connection grow without force. These lessons are at the heart of how I approach investing, relationships, and business.
