Gary MacDermid

Gary MacDermid is a sought-after investor, serial entrepreneur, motivational speaker, professional engineer, and retired Naval Officer whose journey from humble beginnings has shaped his dynamic career. After enlisting in the U.S. Navy straight out of high school, Gary’s path was influenced by advice from a Master Chief, who introduced him to real estate investment. This led Gary to acquire properties across the U.S. and internationally, setting the foundation for his understanding of passive income.

Through a Navy scholarship, Gary earned a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering and was commissioned as a Naval Officer. After leaving the Navy, he became a licensed professional engineer, leading projects in nuclear power plant design and analysis. However, his passion for financial freedom led him to transition from Electrical Engineer to Cash Flow Engineer by founding USA Private Equities, focused on real estate portfolios and passive income strategies.

Beyond real estate, Gary invests in companies like Thin Energy and Premier Sales Force, helping them scale and grow. His episode, "Set Your Goals, or Someone Else Will," on Amazon Prime Video’s Speak Up series, reflects his philosophy on leadership, financial independence, and personal empowerment. Gary’s experience and commitment to helping others have made him a respected voice in both business and personal development.
