Objective

there are no problems. only challenges.

I am a relationship builder; I prioritize first-hand experiences, and I have built a vast personal network by consciously seeking out and fostering connections – not only with guests and owners, but with contractors, cleaning crews, catering, maintenance staff, event planners, and more. The School of Hard Knocks has taught me to always be on my toes, to adapt, and to use every tool at my disposal when presented with a challenge. I seek out daily challenges and focus on problem solving, not complaining. In my field, the hours of 9-5 do not exist; I am always on, ready to answer a call or prevent fires. I actively seek out opportunities to advance my capabilities in the latest technologies, as home innovations and event production continues to evolve at an unprecedented rate.

Experience

jack of all trades

Challenge me I dare you. I've been through quite a bit and touched many different parts of life, leaving me with a particular and ever growing set of skills. From repairing a broken toilet to complete project management of a multi-million dollar construction site. From start to finish I have a unique and adaptable ability to think critically and work efficiently to achieve the best outcome possible. I take pride in consulting new owners looking for a worth-while investments and getting them excited with the possibilities of this  growing market. I'll be by your side to encourage and guide you through how to succeed in an ever changing market. When I win, you win and you'll have access to my insight and network to ensure maximum return on investment.
