Tell us how and when you began your career in the profession you are in, about your current posi- tion and why you choose the field/profession you are in today? Often times, in the trans- parent and information age

we are in today, it is not what you know, but who you know. After working at Bear Stearns for a year, I decided I wanted to work for a small company, where I could be impactful and obtain ownership and “move the needle.” I know a couple guys that owned a de- velopment company and the entrepreneurial spirit was at- tractive and enticing. I jumped ship into real estate and love it. It is dynamic, difficult and can be a game of chess with complex problem solving and anticipating issues that could come up and having solutions in place. What unique qualities and or personality do you feel makes you most suc- cessful in your profession? Work ethic, dedication, loy- alty, attention to detail and ability to retain information and make quick decisions. What outside activities do you enjoy during your free time? Attending and watching sporting events, going to the beach with my family, spend- ing as much time as possible with my wife and our 26 month old son and watching each ac- complishment of his life.  these are a few of my favorite things College: Leonard N Stern School of Business @ New York University Book: MoneyBall Movie: Jerry Maguire Team: Philadelphia Eagles Sport: Football Food: Sushi Dessert: Gelato Hobby: Collecting Sports Cards and Watching Sports Color: Silver If you could dine with anyone dead or alive who would you choose?
