I was born in New York in 1982, but New York was just the beginning.
Growing up, my family and I were always on the move. We lived in Colorado, Puerto Rico, West Virginia, and Long Island. I remember riding across states in rented U-Haul trucks, sipping Slurpees, flipping through MAD Magazines, and watching the world roll by through the windows. Every place we stopped taught me something. Not just about where we were, but about people, change, and starting over.
In 1994, we landed back in Brooklyn. I was just a kid, but I’d already seen and felt what a lot of people don’t experience until much later. Constant change became normal. Adapting became a way of life. It wasn’t always easy, but it made me sharp. It made me strong.
That’s why real estate means more to me than just sales and leases. It represents movement, risk, stability, and growth all at once. It’s about helping people take big steps. Steps I’ve taken myself, many times.
Today, I live in Astoria with my two golden retrievers and my girlfriend. I’m also a proud father to a daughter who just graduated high school. I see this business through the lens of psychology and real life. I pay attention to how people think, what they’re afraid of, and what helps them move forward. I believe that understanding how we work emotionally is the key to helping people, whether they’re buying, selling, or just figuring things out.
Real estate gave me something I didn’t expect: a sense of clarity. It helped me turn all the movement and uncertainty into something rooted and confident. It gave me a way to connect, not just through properties, but through purpose.
