My life journey started in Bayside, NY where I was born. My parents who are originally from the Bronx took me and my older sister and we moved to Eastern Long Island. This is where I spent the next 18 years of my life. In the 11th grade I decided to enter a cooking contest for my HS, the winner would get a weekend and one of the top culinary schools in the country. When the announcement was made that I won 1st place I was super excited to travel to Rhode Island and spend a weekend at Johnson & Wales University.
After HS, I attended J&W getting a bachelor’s degree in Food Service Management, and a minor in Culinary Arts. I spent the next 35 years in the restaurant business working through the ranks and becoming an executive for a top restaurant chain. My wife and 3 kids decided it was time for a change in careers since I missed so much time traveling & working.
My next chapter was real estate. I took some time off before I made this decision, and I must tell you that I LOVE this business. Building relationships is what I did in my previous career and carried me into real estate. Nothing feels better than getting my clients their dream home or selling their house to get into something they truly love. Although we only spend a few months together, we have built relationships that will last forever.  I currently work on a team with wonderful agents, lenders, lawyers, and inspectors who are the best of the best. I am very fortunate to be in a great position in real estate due to the people that support my career and life.
