About Me

My entire life, I understood the value of saving money—because I had to. Growing up, we could cover the basics, but there wasn’t much left over for anything extra. At the same time, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by conversations that planted the seeds for my future. My grandfather was a real estate agent and a serious saver. As an only child, I was often in the room while he talked about finance, property, and long-term thinking.

One theme came up over and over again: people regretting the homes they used to own—wishing they had held on to them, knowing what they’d be worth today. That stuck with me. Even as a kid, I kept wondering: if real estate always seems to appreciate over time, why don’t more people just buy and hold?

That question ended up shaping my life.

I studied real estate and finance in college and spent the next 13 years working in the finance world, managing investments for high net worth clients. It gave me an inside look at how wealth is really built—and for many, real estate played a major role.

I bought my first property in 2005 while still in college after saving $8,500 working at The Cheesecake Factory and valeting cars between classes. I couldn’t afford it alone, so I co-signed with my parents to qualify for the loan. My mortgage was $1,100/month, and that year, I discovered the power of house hacking—renting rooms to my college friends so they paid the mortgage while I lived rent-free. That one move kick-started my investing journey and gave me the ability to save for my second property just three years later.

Today, I own multiple investment properties across Tampa Bay as part of my long-term retirement plan—and I’ve helped clients buy and sell over $100 million in real estate throughout the area. From first-time buyers to seasoned investors, I specialize in helping people build real, lasting wealth through smart real estate decisions.

I believe anyone can create financial freedom with the right mindset, guidance, and strategy. I’m here to show you how.
