About Us

I graduated High School in New York City in 1994, enlisted in the US Army in January 1995, and commissioned as a Second Lieutenant December 2003. In 2019, I retired from the U.S. Army as a Major after 24 years of service. My military career took me to many places around the world, most recently I was part of a special group of military advisors called Afghanistan-Pakistan (AFPAK) Hands stationed at the United States Central Command, MacDill Air Force Base. I recently deployed to Kabul, Afghanistan (RS HQ) from May 2017 until Feb 2018, previously I deployed to Afghanistan with the Special Operation Task Force-South in Kandahar Air Field (KAF) from 2013 to 2014. I also served as the Brigade Human Resources Officer (S1) in HHB, 35th ADA BDE, Osan Airbase, South Korea from 2010 to 2013. Also, I served as Battalion Human Resources Officer in 2-3 FA BN, 1st Armored Division, Fort Bliss, Texas, where I deployed in support of OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM, in South Korea in the 2d Infantry Division, and the 2d Infantry Division Engineer Brigade from January to November 2005. My military awards and decorations include the Bronze Star, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, the Joint Service Commendation Medal, the Army Commendation Medal, and the Army Achievement Medal, and earned the Combat Action Badge during Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF 09-10).

My real estate career started in Orlando, Florida in 2006, later relocating to El Paso, Texas until 2010. I continued my real estate career in the Republic of South Korea partnering with local real estate professionals. I returned to Tampa Bay in 2013, joining Keller Williams Tampa Central & Trust Mortgage Lending. As an investor, I owned rental properties across the United States and actively continue to seek more investment opportunities and investors.
