As a multi generational real estate entrepreneur, I have been immersed in the real estate and construction industries since childhood. As early as 15, I was given the opportunity to join a Los Angeles based firm which focused on high-rise tenant improvements. Although I was young I had drive to learn and thanks to my father that was determined to teach me the business from the time I was 5 years old, I already had a great understanding of the business. 

As a young man I always loved old world craftsmanship and decided to teach myself how to be a carpenter. At first I become a framer and successfully built a few dozen homes and then I moved on to finish carpentry, this is where I found a true passion and turned that into a business that did hundreds of residential kitchens and remodels a year.

In the late 90’s I took the helm of the construction and development side of one of LA’s largest real estate investment firms and within a few years I helped the company triple in size. My involvement in that company now extends from acquisitions to sales. In 2007 I needed a life change and wanted to take some time off so I sold my home and got out ion the business, that lasted about a month before I reached out to a young man with as much drive as my own and a talent beyond his years, Dan Parish (whom I had met a few years prior) had understanding of the millwork business like I had never seen before. It was not long before I convinced him the we needed build a high end Architectual Millwork company. Millworks by Design has become the premier and one of the most sought after companies in the industry. With the help of over a hundred of LA’s most talented craftsmen and women we have produced some of the finest millwork projects on the west coast. 

Over the past two and half decades I have had the opportunity to touch almost 10,000 homes, in that time I have I have found great satisfaction in helping people find a place to call home. I am a believer that as a real estate developer we should be doing our part to give everyone the best product possible, no matter what the price point.

Recently with the help of Troy Palmquist we are creating a Bespoke real estate company that it is sure to shake up the industry, providing a level of service and offerings to real estate community that few have seen before. THE ADDRESS is a luxury real estate company that in a short time has captured the interest of its peers from Santa Barbara to San Diego. With four offices thought California in 12 months we are currently building a 10,000 sq. foot cooperate headquarters that will be the center of operations, with everything from an in-house printing press to a barista pouring your favorite coffee’s in our real estate cafe. 

Stay tuned…. I am only getting started!
