Summary

With a robust track record at SCG, I expanded our footprint in hospitality operations across multiple states, elevating annual revenue streams to north of $80 million. Now, as an Investor/Partner at Resider, I've channeled my financial acumen, network, and expertise into the burgeoning real estate tech sector, contributing to innovative solutions for multi-family unit transactions.

My professional journey has been defined by a commitment to operational excellence and a strategic approach in raising capital for private equity and start-up ventures . At Resider, our collective efforts are shaping the future of apartment renting, mirroring the convenience of dining reservations, and consistently delivering value to our stakeholders and customers.


Overall through the last 10+ years I have developed a unique skill set relating to high net worth individuals both in the hospitality industry and the start-up world finding success in top tier markets in the U.S.
