About the Listing Agent
I grew up in Bloomfield Hills and earned three Bachelor of Arts degrees along with an MBA in Finance from the Eli Broad College of Business at Michigan State University. Throughout my career in corporate banking and finance, I specialized in real estate and mergers & acquisitions, and I helped manage a commercial finance company for Penske Corporation. I have closed over $2.10 billion in transactions, and I apply this experience to every deal to ensure a smooth client experience. I am an Office Broker in Birmingham and serve as the lead Broker for @properties Commercial REMI. Before joining @properties, I ran my own commercial real estate brokerage and development firm. I have developed a creative skill set, including website development, photography, and videography, which enhances my financial and marketing expertise. These skills help me exceed every client's needs and expectations, whether they are first-time buyers or commercial property investors. I served for 13 years on the Birmingham Board of Education as both president and treasurer, representing residents from the nine Birmingham Public Schools' communities. I continue to volunteer as treasurer of SCHOLAR Birmingham. This charity provides college scholarships to local high school seniors, and I played a key role in establishing our own @gives back REMI charity foundation. I have lived in Bloomfield, Birmingham, and Beverly Hills for most of my life and possess a deep knowledge of the area's character. My wife and I built our current home in Beverly Hills. This is the third luxury home we've built, and these experiences have deepened my love for residential real estate.
