– College Financial Aid and Career Navigation with Tom & Maria Geffers and Seth Greene Episode 041 Tai DeSa

Tai DeSa lost it all and then pulled off a great comeback. Tai is the oldest of 11 children. He graduated first in his class from Notre Dame High School of East Stroudsburg. Tai earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics degree from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. Wanting to be a better leader and wishing to serve his country, Tai decided two weeks before graduating from college that he would join the military. He spent five years deployed overseas as a naval intelligence officer, including three deployments to combat zones. Tai then decided to leave the Navy and become a full-time real estate investor. As the housing bubble burst, Tai lost his life savings in bad real estate investments. While in the midst of his financial problems, Tai met his future wife Amira. They fell in love and married just over a year after their first date. Today, Tai and Amira are real estate investors and operate real estate brokerage businesses in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. Out of everything he has done, Tai is most proud to be a father to twin girls.
