Angel Investor in Silicon Valley, Anesthesiologist, Major and Flight Surgeon in the Air Force Reserve, Real Estate Investor…Sami does it all.  Episode #004 features a fascinating guest who I’ve known for a long time as a Hughes Capital investor, but who I’ve only recently gotten to know on a more personal level.  And believe me when I tell you that there is a lot to learn from this driven, multifaceted guy!

A Michigan-based anesthesiologist, Sami decided to join the US Air Force Reserves at the age of 40, where he is now a Major and a flight surgeon.  Since then, he has been traveling the world transporting sick and injured members of the US military back home for treatment and doing flybys on the Russian border.  Sami is also a big believer in real estate investing, and is an Angel investor for a tech startup called Knightscope in Silicon Valley, which predicts and prevents crime using autonomous robots that look like they came straight out of a Star Wars movie.  Sami and I share some similar opinions about the value of non-traditional real estate investments which we talk about in this interview.
