Putting control and profit back with owners.

One practice, not a tray of logos. A yard, a testing desk, an employer stack, a fleet, and the capital around them.

About

Be curious, not judgmental.

Hawking on the curiosity. Whitman on the judgment.

Hands-on builder of resilient, tech-enabled operations. The family built the backbones — websites, phone systems, accounting, the way a person actually reaches the business. The ventures are that habit, repeated.

New York University, 1999–2002. The degree began in pre-med and finished across real estate economics, math, and computer science. Based in greater Atlanta. Gujarati and English at home; Spanish and Hindi in the work.

The frame

Three legs. Miss one and it tips.

Press a leg. The index keeps only the work that stands on it. Press it again to set the shelf back down.

How it fits

The same stool, used again.

Storage did not “lead to” a random set of businesses. Each one is a leg that was missing, or the same leg stood up somewhere else. Slide the years.

  1. 01

    The yard is the school

    J&M Mini Storage & Car Wash starts with a custom phone line in 2006 and is on Twilio, fully remote, by 2024. Twenty-one years on the asset. A hybrid-ESOP, nearly a decade running, so the people who keep the yard going share in it. Career, asset, and scaffolding were already standing in the same place.

  2. 02

    The workforce left the property line

    Lab & HR Testing Solutions is that operation’s next problem: workplace testing, a no-cost DOT platform, and a separate front door at probationdrugtest.com so probation and employers never share a lobby. Watching healthcare, insurance, and tax stack on each other is what set the rule — no markup on the client.

  3. 03

    Employers get the stack, not the fee

    RJ Employer Consulting, from 2012, treats PEOs, payroll platforms, and insurers as partners. Enterprise benefits, without stacked consulting fees or hidden markups. The insurance desk — life and health, property and casualty, 1031 exchanges — is the same scaffolding, written next to the asset instead of bolted on after a sale.

  4. 04

    A second asset, the same remote habit

    The Tampa fleet is six-plus years of Turo run from somewhere else: guest sourcing, insurance, state compliance. A leasing tool turns that into pre-tax employee vehicles, fully insured, with no added end-user cost. The cars are the asset. The tool is scaffolding for someone else’s payroll.

  5. 05

    Capital stays on the owner’s rails

    EB-5 is a plain door for capital that crosses borders. Projektive Kapital takes the yard’s hybrid-ESOP and restates it for real estate: cash flows and fixed assets arranged so payroll and ownership sit together, with no extra direct client cost. Operational tokenization — real rails, not a separate religion.

  6. 06

    The full stool, handed over

    Veteran Home Initiative is not a ninth logo. It is the three legs on purpose: a place to live, a career path, and financial scaffolding for veterans and their families. No direct client fees. If any leg is missing, it tips. That is the point of everything above.

    J&M Mini Storage & Car Wash

    The asset that taught the rest. The stool was built here.

    Career · Asset · Scaffolding

    It started with a storage facility. A custom phone line in 2006, Twilio and fully remote operations by 2024. Twenty-one years on the yard, and a hybrid-ESOP for the people who keep it running.

    Health · 13+ years

    Lab & HR Testing Solutions

    The yard’s workforce problem, turned into a practice.

    Career · Scaffolding

    Workplace testing done differently, including a no-cost DOT platform. The friction between healthcare, insurance, and tax is what shaped the no-markup consulting model.

    Probation testing

    Same testing craft. A different front door, so the audiences stay clear.

    Career

    A home just for probation testing, kept separate from the employer lab so each audience gets a clear front door.

    Employers · 2012 — present

    RJ Employer Consulting

    The no-markup rule, applied to an employer’s whole stack.

    Insurance desk

    Coverage written beside the asset, including when a 1031 has to move it.

    Asset · Scaffolding

    Life and health, property and casualty, and 1031 exchanges. Coverage sits next to the employer stack instead of being bolted on later.

    Turo private fleet

    Another asset, run remotely. The leasing tool is the scaffolding.

    The yard’s hybrid-ESOP, restated so real estate can carry payroll.

    Veteran Home Initiative

    All three legs, offered as housing, work, and scaffolding. No direct client fees.

Builder’s tools

Instruments, not a software list.

These are the things that get reused. Each one shows up in more than one venture, which is how the work stays one practice.

  • 01

    Phone line to remote desk

    A custom IVR in 2006. Twilio, and a yard that can be run without standing on it, by 2024. The Tampa fleet is the same idea on a different asset: operate it tightly, from elsewhere.

  • 02

    No-markup partnerships

    PEOs, payroll platforms, and insurers kept as partners. The client is not where the fee gets stacked. The lesson came from testing, and it is used every time an employer wants an enterprise stack.

    Hybrid-ESOP

    Nearly a decade at the storage yard. The people who run the asset participate in it. Projektive Kapital tokenizes that pattern so real estate equity can carry payroll, still with no extra direct client cost.

    Pre-tax fleet tool

    Built out of the Tampa operation. Insurance, safety, and state compliance turned into employee vehicle leasing at competitive rates, with nothing added for the person who drives the car.

    Operational tokenization

    Production systems that put real cash flows and fixed assets on the same rails as career and ownership. It is how the scaffolding leg holds the asset leg when the asset is a building, not only a yard.
