Tom Burtness has been an adventurer his entire life, relentlessly pursuing the optimum approach to conquering the challenging waves in his own life, family, and career. He is an entrepreneur to the core.  Tom has founded over twenty successful businesses and organizations in the past thirty-five years in a wide diversity of fields, ranging from consulting engineering, construction, and real estate businesses, to a theatre production company and a church.

Tom is passionate about helping people find and realize the vision for their lives, families and businesses.

His teaching and writing style blends both the why and the how-to.  Tom possesses a rare ability to see both the philosophy behind a principle and the way to live it out; it has been said of Tom that he is a “bridge between the theoretical and the practical.”  Tom finds it curiously ironic that his engineering specialization of illumination design parallels his passion to assist his students in achieving practical “illumination” to excel in their fields of endeavor.

Tom and his wife of thirty-five years, Emily, carry their passion for mentoring into their family life as well.  They home educated their four children from grade school through graduation from high school.  The three older children have all graduated from college with honors.  Erick is a CFA, Kristiana is an editor and screenwriter, Michelle assists in the real-estate business, and Hannah is studying graphic design at the University of Illinois.

He has enjoyed many years of the excitement involved in off-road motorcycling, scuba diving, downhill skiing, rock climbing and rappelling, and being a private pilot.  Tom is a long distance runner and completed three half-marathon events last year.  His personal motto is “Never stop adventuring!”

Tom currently co-owns and runs four businesses, including a real-estate investment business with his son-in-law, Zach Morrison; a real estate investment capital funding business; an investment advisor firm; and a green energy residential improvements business.  Tom can be reached at tom@illinihomebuyers.com.  He and Emily reside near Champaign-Urbana, Illinois and are avid fans of the University of Illinois.  Go Illini!

Brian Snyder authored a chapter in the book titled, “Marketing Houses at No Risk.”

Brian Snyder lives in Pittsburgh, PA, and has been buying and selling houses since 2004. In that time he has done a wide range of deals including wholesale, rehabs, short sales, owner financing, and subject-to.  He has sold properties in various ways as well including wholesaling to a cash buyer, sell to a retail owner-occupant through realtors and by owner, owner financing, and the rent-to-own program.  Brian’s favorite way to profit in real estate is to wholesale properties.  Therefore he has launched the educational website, http://www.MarketingHousesAtNoRisk.com, that teaches wholesaling step-by-step.

After such a successful release, Brian will soon be inducted into The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™, an organization that honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.

About The National Academy of Best-Selling Authors™:

The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ was founded by two attorneys, JW Dicks, Esq. and Nick Nation, Esq. who are also best selling authors and represent authors and experts nationwide.  Both of the attorneys are members of multiple organizations, associations and academies that recognize and honor the best in the business, and they thought a similar organization should be created for Best Selling authors who don’t always get recognition for their accomplishment. Authors themselves, they recognized that only a very limited number of books made the major New York Times Best Seller list and just like the awards shows put on by the entertainment-based organizations, they wanted to have more categories for authors to be accepted and recognized for their accomplishment. The National Academy of Best Selling Authors™ now honors authors from many of the leading independent best-seller lists.
