Where Can You Afford to Live Abroad?

Why Work With Someone Actually Doing It?

Most FIRE abroad coaches have read about it. I'm living it — and I bring 23 years of federal-level solutions architecture to the table.

As a Lead Solutions Architect at Accenture Federal Services, I've migrated mission-critical systems for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, architected AI-powered platforms serving millions of users, and delivered 30–50% cost reductions for government agencies. Now at 50, I'm executing my own plan — retiring at 56 to Asturias, Spain with a CalPERS pension, brokerage income, and a 457(b).

I built Rewire Abroad to document the journey — and to help others build theirs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to already have a FIRE plan?
Not at all. Many clients start with just a vague idea of wanting to retire abroad. We build the plan together from scratch.

Can you help with pre-existing health conditions abroad?
Yes — this is a specialty. I personally navigate healthcare planning for a chronic kidney condition (ADPKD) and can help you find the right visa and public healthcare access path in Spain and other European countries.

I'm not tech-savvy — can you still build me a website?
Absolutely. You share your vision and content, I handle everything technical — including AI tools, calculators, and integrations.

What countries do you specialize in?
Spain is my primary focus, especially Asturias and Galicia. I also cover Portugal, Italy, and France in depth using the research tools available on this site.

Can you help specifically with the Spain Digital Nomad Visa?
Yes — I'm going through the process myself. I can help you prepare income documentation, understand RETA registration, and connect you with specialized immigration lawyers.

What if I just have one quick question?
Book a single strategy session at $197. It covers everything in 90 minutes with no ongoing commitment required.
