Our Mission & Heart
At Freedom River Investments, we believe every community starts with people — not property.
At the heart of every home is a story, a dream, and a family ready to build something lasting.
A true community grows from simple things — a front porch, a light in the window, and a place to call your own.
We’re builders of opportunity, creating homes that give working families a real path toward ownership, stability, and pride.
Our work spans Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley, where we’re leading attainable-housing projects designed to bring integrity, craftsmanship, and purpose back into development.
The CornerStone Cottage is just the beginning — a symbol of what’s possible when heart meets hard work, and when a home is built not just to sell, but to serve.
We’re proud to work alongside local banks, lending partners, material suppliers, and skilled tradespeople who share our belief that homes built with honesty and heart can change lives.
Together, we’re rebuilding the foundation of our local communities — one project, one family, one future at a time.
Justin Tisdale - Founder
My purpose wasn’t something I stumbled into — it’s something I felt called to do.
Through hard lessons, discipline, and perseverance, my path has taken me from serving as a United States Marine to launching companies that bridge aviation and real estate. My life has been about creating things that matter and helping others find the same sense of direction.
Freedom River Investments grew from that belief. It’s not just about homes or profit margins — it’s about people. I saw a need for honest, attainable housing in my own community and decided to do something about it. What began as a single idea — to build with purpose — has grown into a movement to restore pride and opportunity across Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.
We don’t just want to hand someone a set of keys — we want to hand them a sense of belonging.
Our goal is to give people more than a house; it’s to give them a home — a place that reflects who they are, where memories are made, and where stability can finally take root.
Every person and partner we work with is chosen with intention. From the local banks that believe in our vision to the craftsmen who pour the foundations, each one shares the same commitment to integrity and purpose. We don’t build fast — we build right. Freedom River is built on relationships, not transactions, and that’s what gives every project its heart.
Whether I’m working on the ground with Freedom River or in the sky with Nomad Air, my mission is the same: to build with intention, lead with integrity, and inspire others to chase their calling — wherever it leads.
I look forward to continuing to help families find stability, investors find purpose, and communities find strength — one home, one project, and one story at a time.
