About Maurice

NICE TO MEET YOU

I’m Maurice.

An investor, entrepreneur, and lifestyle design and wealth strategist. My mission is simple: to help you consciously create a lifestyle you don’t need a vacation from.

I’ve lived blue collar, white collar, and no collar. Worked midnight shifts, led global teams, built businesses, and raised a family. I know what it feels like to carry real responsibility while quietly asking yourself, “Is this it?”

For 25 years, I held three parallel careers: Senior Executive at a Global Consulting Firm, Lieutenant Colonel and Special Agent in the United States Military, and a Midnight Police Officer in the Washington, DC area.

While doing all of that, I kept choosing life. I opened restaurants because I was curious. I stepped into television and film for the same reason. At 26, I tried out for the NFL to fulfill a childhood dream. I co-founded a private equity firm and helped purchase over $250 million in real estate across 10 states and two countries. I traveled to more than 100 countries.

The point was never to stack accomplishments. The point was to design and live life.

There were seasons when that choice felt uncertain. I made it anyway.

At 15, a 30-day road trip through France showed me there was more to life than the narrow script we’re sold. At 21, I began intentionally designing my life because chasing titles never interested me. Experience did. Growth did. Living did.

For years, I lived this privately before I ever talked about it.

When I began sharing this philosophy publicly in 2019, thousands recognized themselves in the story: successful on paper, but quietly wondering if this was all there was. From that lived experience, I created the Try Life On framework.

Life design didn’t stop there. Today, I live between Coastal Maryland and the Middle East, continuing to shape my environment, my work, and my time deliberately.

Since then, I’ve helped thousands gain more control over their time, money, and identity so they can start living differently now, not someday.

Too many people stay stuck in planning mode. Fear of rocking the boat keeps them in careers, cities, and identities that no longer fit. Years pass while they wait for permission.

If that fear wasn’t there, how much would your life change?
Where would you live?
Who would you spend your time with?
What would you finally try?

The only way to know is to try it on.
