Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong is going into commercial real estate. According to a news release today: /p
pArmstrong ... has joined with longtime agent Bill Stapleton and business manager Bart Knaggs to form CSE Realty Partners, a privately-held real estate investment company based in Austin, Texas. The trio, responsible for directing more than 20 successful enterprises since 1995 ... have recruited 20-year real estate industry veteran Lance Sallis to lead the new company. /p
pAs if that's not enough athletic ability for one real estate company, the team will also include Patrick Jeffers, a former NFL wide receiver who played for the Denver Broncos Super Bowl XXXII Championship team. /p
pArmstrong is a natural-born entrepreneur. He's also co-founded businesses ranging from hotels to artist management to live events to a bicycle shop to LiveStrong.com./p
