I am an ambitious realist whose journey started in a small town in upstate New York. I found my way to Massachusetts just less than two years ago and since have experienced many endeavors that have served as lifelong growth opportunities.

Growing up I was always interested in construction, as my father had a small construction business that I often worked with throughout my high school career. I was also lucky enough to be able to study architectural design at a trade school my last two years of high school and really enjoyed it, however I went on to study business in college. Upon studying business I realized the perfect combination of the three things I enjoy most (Carpentry, architectural design and business) is real-estate investment.

Upon that conclusion, I have developed a plan. My hopes are to purchase my first triplex apartment building within the next two and a half years through an owner’s occupancy mortgage allowing me to put 3.5% down and live in the building while I renovate each apartment. After this process is completed I would like to repeat again, and again. Once the process starts to take up all of my time and the profit margin proves to be large enough to support me, I plan to leave my day job and put all of my time and focus on growing this small side business into something much larger and more profitable.

That being said, I would like to learn more as I know I don’t know everything, or even much at all, and I am hoping to network and receive ideas and voice some of my own for others benefits.
