    PART I: Making a Major Difference in my Client's Lives
    I was lucky to work with an excellent realtor when purchasing my first home. Buying a home, especially at that time in my life, was a huge financial decision. This realtor helped me avoid some major pitfalls and armed me with the knowledge to make the right decisions based on my goals. Ultimately his help led to several great real estate investments from which I'm wreaping the benifits of today. This individual made a major difference in my life. I'd like to positively impact my clients lives in a similar way.

    PART II: Taking Control of My Own Destiny
    I've worked for a few excellent corperations in different sales capacities. I was largely successful in these roles, earning many accolades over the years. I worked very hard and made many sacrifices to be a top sales performer. Most of the financial rewards for my work and sacrifice were incremental at best, and made little difference in my financial future. I often felt I was selling myself short and not living up to my full potential. I decided to become an independent contractor, as a realtor, to have greater influence over my career and financial potential.
  • About me
    Hello All! I was born in Minnesota and grew up in Plymouth, MN a western suburb of Minneapolis. I'm the youngest of three brothers. I'm very close with my family and I see them as often as possible even though we're all long distance. Minnesota was home until attending college at Southern Illinois University in 2000. During college I played baseball for one year. In 2003-4 I spent a year in Rome, Italy studing abroad at The American University in Rome. I have Italian roots, so my time in Italy was deeply meaningful to me. I graduated from SIU with a Bachelors in Science in 2005. Following college I spent a year working in Galway, Ireland followed by a year Thailand. In 2009 I was offered a job in Austin, TX. I acceped the position and moved Austin. For the past fifteen years Austin has been home. I bought my first home in S. Austin in 2014. I still live there. I've developed a lot of frienships and close relationships here in Austin and throughout Texas. The bulk of my career in Austin has been centered in Territory Sales Management. Until now real estate has always played a secondary role in my career. I'm looking forward to pursuing real estate as my sole career endevor.
