The Frontline Group of companies was started in 2000 when its two founders, Lance Churchill and Speare Valasakos, joined together with the goal of creating a premium seminar and education company. Mr. Valasakos, who resides in San Diego, California, has more than 20 years of experience in distressed property buying, creative real estate strategies, financing, asset protection, and wealth preservation. Mr. Churchill, who resides in Boise, Idaho, was at that time Mr. Valasakos' attorney, and had amassed 20 years of legal experience primarily in the field of real estate law with a substantial practice in real estate foreclosures, real estate investments, and landlord/tenant law. Additionally, Mr. Churchill had substantial experience with business law, bankruptcy law (representing both debtors and creditors), and collection law.

The two of them made the decision to start the Frontline Group of companies because of the many times they were approached by people in significant legal and/or financial trouble; trouble that could have been avoided had the individual implemented basic tax or asset protection strategies. These people had not taken any steps to protect their assets from catastrophic lawsuits or devastating tax consequences from their business practices. In almost every case, it was not because of negligence or inaction on the part of the individuals, but a case of simply not knowing what steps they could take and what planning tools were readily available to help protect their assets.

Mr. Valasakos and Mr. Churchill realized that with their combined background and experience, they possessed a knowledge base that is virtually unequaled anywhere in the seminar and education fields of real estate investing, tax, and asset protection planning. Their training and real life experiences would allow them to teach and educate others as no one else could. Their expertise would also allow them to provide products and services with substance and real value for every client they would encounter.

Lance and Speare formed Frontline in Boise, Idaho and began their quest to teach business owners and real estate investors how to implement tax reduction strategies, educate people on how to protect their assets, and most importantly enhance their knowledge of real estate investment techniques. Over the years Frontline has expanded and now has many affiliates and network companies that provide a wide range of services to all its students and clients. Frontline currently has offices in both San Diego, California and Boise, Idaho. The Frontline companies bring products and services to clients and students through live seminars, web based and home study courses, direct consulting and personal coaching, specific strategic planning, and wealth preservation techniques. They utilize cutting edge strategies in all facets of their business and offer a consulting staff of veteran professionals with experience in all the relevant fields.
