Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Keller Williams Upstate NY Properties
Hello!
My beautiful wife, Jessica, and I grew up in the area. We currently live in Oneonta in a country home overlooking the mountains with our beloved son, Terran, our pup Aida, and over 100 house plants (thanks to my wife and her green thumb!). I love to hike, run, and spend time in the outdoors. Jess loves to garden, practice yoga, and soak up the sunshine on our property. So far, we can say confidently that Terran likes to smile, laugh, snuggle, explore, eat and play! His first phrase was, “I did it.” Only a few years old and his personality is already shining through.
““I’m passionate about helping owners maximize their home’s value.” ”
Why did I start a real estate sales business?
Growing up in Upstate New York I developed a deep love for the people and places of the Empire State. I approach life and work with sincerity, honesty, and passion. There is nothing more rewarding than serving others and seeing them find a place they are proud to call home or an investment that enables them to achieve their goals.
I bought my first rental property while studying marketing, management and history at Hillsdale College. Since then, real estate has become an outlet of creativity, passion and financial growth for me and his beautiful wife, Jessica. I find fulfillment in helping others to own and enjoy something as tangible as real estate and believe strongly that it is one of the surest paths to financial freedom. I own multiple businesses in upstate New York in addition to a portfolio of rental units. Being involved in business and real estate investing has deepened my understanding of the real estate market and the what it takes to help my clients maximize their value.
Investing in people.
In 2013 I founded a non-profit operation in Hillsdale, Michigan, which is still thriving as a service organization to this day. Ultimately, I am most passionate about investing in people, for the places we call home are given meaning by the relationships we hold dear and the kindness we show one another. I believe we all have a chance to improve the the lives of our friends and neighbors by investing our time and money into our community. Representing my clients well and building a thriving business is one of the ways I help those around me, and the community I’m proud to call home.
