Prior to my real estate career, I spent my childhood on Long Island, NY. I grew up heavily involved in any sport I could sign up to. Developing that discipline and drive paved the way for me to become a professional boxer when I came to Florida. I turned pro and had two fights (2-0, 2 KO’s). With reoccurring injuries and a growing family, I chose to go back to school. I already had an AA in engineering so I chose mathematics as the best transition for me to become a teacher and coach. During this time I hustled serving tables to pay my bills. Eventually, I married the most incredible woman, landed a job with OCPS teaching high school math, began my Math Education master’s degree, and had another few kids. I taught math for a few years. I loved teaching, but as our family grew, I knew that I had to do something else to support our household. One day as I was administering a final exam, I read Robert Kiyosaki’s “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”. The next week, I dropped out of my math education Ph.D. program and got into selling insurance/financial products. I got all the licensing and I hustled. Yet, I HATED pitching people. I felt like I was, “that sales guy”, I dressed in a suit, and I was putting on a front to make the sale. Fortunately my wife and family friend led me to Real Estate and I joined a local team. After 4 months, I made my first real estate deal. The next year I sold 18 homes, and from there, Ive sold around 25-35 houses each year since. As I found my stride, I was also able to authentically serve my clients. You’ll find that I wear jeans and sneakers. Instead, I focus on what truly matters, providing guidance, connection, education, and serving YOU.
