Hi, I'm Dustin.
Founder of Big Spring Capital. I help investors build wealth through cash-flowing real assets, build with AI, and write about it along the way.
About
I'm the founder and managing partner of Big Spring Capital, a real-asset investment firm that helps investors grow wealth through passive cash flow, equity appreciation, and tax advantages. I serve as a GP across our oil & gas and private credit funds, managing over $8 million in combined investor capital, and I've personally executed more than $3 million in real estate across long-term rentals, short-term rentals, and small multifamily development.
Before Big Spring Capital, I earned a B.S. in Finance and spent over a decade across consulting, finance, and tech, in leadership roles spanning Fortune 5 companies to startups, including helping scale one startup to $100M+ in revenue and a $3.2B acquisition.
Today I'm focused on two things: helping people build durable wealth through real assets, and building AI tools that make small teams far more capable.
Investing
Build wealth through real assets
I help accredited investors put capital into private real assets – real estate and energy – for passive cash flow, tax advantages, and long-term appreciation. No tenants, no toilets, no second job. Here's where to go deeper.

AI
Build with AI
I build custom AI agents and automations that give small teams the leverage of much bigger ones – taking the busywork off your plate so you can focus on the work that actually moves the needle. If you're an operator wondering where AI fits, let's map it out.
