Summary

Enjoy problem solving. My areas of specialty are History and Social Sciences, Political and Religious studies, and real estate. I speak Spanish passably. I like a challenge and am happy to learn on-site for a new trade or profession. I am still involved in the family business and my own personal real estate forays but want to create another career for myself.

Work History

Real Estate Consultant

SOLKIM Associates
01.2012 - Current

Masterminded the creation of a Freddy's Steakburgers franchise with my father, mostly in the Houston area. Grew the company to 15+ restaurants until last year when we sold it. Learned over the years that Franchise ownership requires close supervision of management and specific attention to the state of individual locations to maintain customer satisfation. Did undercover burger runs to assess physical locations. Recently sold one of our other physical commercial locations to Starbucks. Currenly SOLKIM associates and our related LLCs are focused on mutual funds and the like but we still own some real estate. In the future I intend to get more into residential real estate, likely at the next market reset.
