Born and raised in Idaho, Jason Nedrow came from a family of farmers who taught him how to work hard at an early age. He went to college to study Mechanical Engineering but, realizing that he didn’t want to work for someone else, dropped out after three years. Before finding Nouveau Riche, Jason had spent the last decade working as a door-to-door vacuum salesman. It was a demanding job that, although provided steady income, left no time to spend with his expanding family. Jason felt that his job owned him and that he was missing out on his life. After much research and soul searching for a career he could feel passionate about, Jason found Nouveau Riche in January 2005. Although Jason had no prior real estate experience, he believed in the Nouveau Riche system and devoted himself to becoming a success.
The first year starting his Nouveau Riche business was a struggle, there were many financial setbacks and the pressure to provide for his family was taking its toll. With great will and determination to succeed, along with the support of the entire team at Nouveau Riche, Jason managed to draw in 35 guests at a February 2006 Intensive™ workshop, making $120K! He finished 2006 with over $500K in commissions and has currently earned over $1.3M with Nouveau Riche. Within three years, Jason has found the balance between reaching his financial goals and spending quality time with his beautiful wife of 15 years, Rebecca, and their 5 amazing children.
As a full time IRA who developed the Las Vegas and Idaho markets, Jason believes that the real reason behind his success at Nouveau Riche is his focus on the people. “It’s been awesome to help people meet their educational and financial goals and give them options,” says Jason. He credits Co-founders Jim Piccolo, Mary Piccolo and Bob Snyder for changing his life and allowing him to do something he loves while serving and changing the lives of others. Jason is looking forward to developing his new territory and continuing to help others achieve their goals and dreams, following his business model “If you help enough people get what they want, you’ll have everything in life that you want."
Dan Read
Independent Regional Advisor –North Texas, Louisiana, and South Mississippi
Born and raised in Layton, Utah, Dan Read possesses a great deal of compassion for others. After serving The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Baltimore, Maryland for two years, he started many small businesses, from freelance graphics design, video production, to a retail store in the mall, before discovering his true passion: real estate. Reading up on the subject, Dan started buying homes at the early age of 21, acquiring 2 properties over the course of 2 years. However, he knew that at this pace he would not reach his life goals and long-term wealth. Upon discovering Nouveau Riche at the age of 24, he believed he’d found his solution. As a newlywed and $30,000 in consumer credit card debt, making the education purchase was not an easy decision, but this one decision forever changed his life for the better. In a matter of six months with Nouveau Riche, he acquired a total of 10 properties totaling over $1.25 million. Utilizing his new knowledge, he completed his first Short Sale deal, netting $42,000 profit—more than he'd ever made in two years worth of net take home at his job doing litigation support! Only six months after joining Nouveau Riche, Dan realized it was time to quit his 9-to-5 job!
Today, Dan enjoys the freedom to spend quality time with his beautiful wife Stephanie. They are now loving parents of two beautiful children, Locke, 2.5 years old, and Breckyn, 6 months, who are the joy of their lives! As an Independent Regional Advisor, Dan also takes great pleasure in sharing Nouveau Riche with many others. Leading the expansion of Nouveau Riche into the Dallas, Texas, market with his best friend, Independent Regional Advisor Rob Miles, he helps others see the freedom and success he’s created through Nouveau Riche and discover their path to start fulfilling their own dreams. Rob and Dan have been able to help many individuals “fire” their bosses. After only three years in real estate, they also share part ownership of a dental center in the Phoenix area, with four more in-the-works.
Dan says "This business has been the instrument to truly have the many 'things' we've wanted in life and to travel the world. But on top of that, and more importantly, it has created a means to truly help my friends and family get their time and lives back! The joy and fulfillment we have received by helping others is more valuable than anything! We are forever grateful for Jim [Piccolo], Mary [Piccolo], and Bob [Snyder] for their leadership and vision to create a system where we can leave a legacy for our family for generations to come. There is nothing else out there like Nouveau Riche!" He adds, “Rob and I have a mission to CREATE a LIFESTYLE of FREEDOM for our families and friends by empowering all with the courage, knowledge, and conviction to design a life of ABUNDANCE, free from the shackles of time, poverty, and fear, resulting in true FREEDOM.”
Todd Shearer
Independent Regional Advisor –North Texas, Louisiana, and South Mississippi
An avid learner, Todd Shearer takes great pleasure in expanding his knowledge and becoming a man of culture. After earning his B.S. degree, he continues to quench his thirst for knowledge by associating with the great business minds and instructors of Nouveau Riche’s preeminent and expansive community.
He admits “I have always felt restricted in the conventional workplace. I have long searched for something that is lucrative as well as fulfilling. For me, there has always been a dichotomous trade off between the two: I either thoroughly enjoyed the work I did with no monetary benefits, or I found high-paying employment that left me wanting. With Nouveau Riche I have found the perfect fit.”
Todd’s tremendous success stems from his joy in assisting others in enhancing their lives with the myriad of benefits of Nouveau Riche’s Community and educational system. Since participating in the Real Estate Investment Colleges, he’s acquired 40 properties, with well over a one million dollar equity position. He credits his success to the pay it forward philosophy and culture of Nouveau Riche: “I believe that my success has come only because I have helped to create opportunities for others.” As someone who “loves creating buzz,” he claims, “I am so passionate when I talk about something that people just want to be involved in whatever it is that I am doing.” As an Independent Regional Advisor, his strengths as a “bridge builder” and communicator foster a strong and connected core group of leaders within the Nouveau Riche Community. “The personal and professional growth that I have achieved as a result of my association with the great leaders of this company is immeasurable,” says Todd. The skills he has acquired over the course of his tenure with Nouveau Riche aided him in leading the charge for Nouveau Riche’s expansion into Texas and helping to enrich the lives of many in this market. Todd looks forward to continuing this steady path and opening the eyes of many with the power of Nouveau Riche.
Robert Miles
Independent Regional Advisor –North Texas, Louisiana, and South Mississippi
Robert “Rob” Miles grew up in Arizona until the age of 19, at which time he moved to Baltimore, Maryland, to serve for 2 years as a full-time service missionary. It was there that he first met and worked with IRA Dan Read and the two developed a friendship that would, in years to come, prove to be providential. Shortly after returning home from completing his mission in Maryland, Rob married his high school sweetheart, Melissa.
Newlywed life was good. The twenty-two year old had a rewarding job where he helped people improve their lives through advanced education; his wife was working in the accounting department of a law firm; and together, they had just built and moved into their first home. On April 24, 2005, Rob and Melissa were blessed with a beautiful baby boy and Melissa quit her job to devote her time and attention to the care of little Reed. Suddenly, the only income paying the bills was Rob's $30k a year salary. They began to struggle financially and the downward spiral continued until eventually Rob's parents started making their mortgage payments for them. It was during this time that Rob’s old friend, IRA Dan Read, introduced him to Nouveau Riche. In the first six months with Nouveau Riche, Rob’s income quadrupled his previous annual income. Additionally, even though his mentor was in Utah, the Nouveau Riche leadership team in Arizona “took him in,” answered his questions, and supported him in the business of real estate investing and wealth-creation.
Today, Rob and his family live in McKinney,Texas, where he specializes in the strategy of Short Sales. Currently, in partnership with IRA Dan Read, Rob has ownership in multi-million dollar dental centers, and dedicates his time and resources to the building of an amazing Nouveau Riche Community in North Texas.
Rob offers his thanks to Nouveau Riche founders: “Thank you, Jim Piccolo, for your vision, your experience, and your guidance. Thank you, Bob Snyder, for your mentorship and for believing in us here in Dallas. You truly are a man of integrity.” He adds,”Thank you, INSA Jason Nedrow, for being the leader that you are and bringing your experience and knowledge to our team. Thank you, IRA Dan Read, for introducing me to this amazing company. If you hadn’t called me about Nouveau Riche I wouldn't be where I am today.” Last but certainly not least, Rob expresses gratitude for his wife: “Thank you to my beautiful wife, Melissa – you ARE my best friend. Thank you for saying, ‘Yes’— Yes to marrying me, Yes to Nouveau Riche, Yes to moving to Texas, and Yes to this amazing life that we have created together.”
Now, as an Independent Regional Advisor with Nouveau Riche, Rob Miles enjoys a transformed life and helps others discover the path that can help them achieve their own transformations. Rob shares these words of encouragement: “I have experienced a lot in the past three years. I know what it is like to have $11.50 in my bank account as an employee and I now know what it is like to make 6 figures in 1 month as a business owner.”
