About Me With over two decades of experience in property management, accounting, and executive leadership, I bring a strategic and grounded perspective to real estate. My career began in finance, where I served in accounting roles before rising to CFO-level responsibilities, overseeing financial operations and guiding organizations through growth and transition phases. Transitioning into property management, I developed a hands-on understanding of real estate operations, tenant relations, and investment strategy. This blend of financial insight and real-world property management experience gives me a unique edge in understanding both the numbers and the people behind every transaction. Outside of work, I’m a devoted husband and father, raising our children with my wife and valuing the balance of family life. I enjoy camping with my family, getting outdoors to recharge, and spending time in the workshop woodworking—whether it's building or just creating something by hand. Whether managing assets or building relationships, I approach every project with integrity, accountability, and a long-term mindset.
