My interest in real estate started at home. Growing up, I watched my father and grandfather both involved in different aspects of real estate. I saw firsthand how they built relationships, created opportunities, and treated real estate not just as transactions, but as a way to build a legacy. Their passion sparked my curiosity, and from a young age I found myself drawn to the business.

In 2014 I became a partner in Junkin' It, a demolition, property cleanout and dumpster business serving Hartford and New Haven counties, which gave me a foundation in sales, scheduling and running day-to-day operations. In 2015 I co-founded Glenstone and spent the next decade building it into an integrated real estate investment and services company spanning principal investing, brokerage, financing, asset and property management, and business operations across all eight Connecticut counties. Over that time I executed $90M+ in combined principal investment and represented transaction volume across 400+ purchase and sale transactions, built and operated a $25M+ portfolio of roughly 300 doors at peak, and scaled property management operations to 500+ doors.

Along the way I took on everything that keeps real estate performing: asset-level P&Ls, budgets and forecasts, underwriting and due diligence, debt strategy, capital improvements, compliance, and the SOPs and reporting systems that hold it all together. Today I maintain my Connecticut broker license and personal investment activities through Legacy Private Client Group, serve on the SmartMLS Board of Directors, and am focused on bringing that experience to real estate asset management, transaction management and operations.
