Professional Experience:
Director of Agent Recruiting and Coaching. I have always had an entrepreneurial spirit and a drive to succeed. I began my professional career right out of college as the owner and president of All Star Distribution, Inc., which was a direct sales company. In 1996, I left the business world to focus on a career that was more focused on giving back to my community…teaching. I have a master's degree in Education and was a high school football coach and track and field coach for over 25 years. In 2010, I had an opportunity to serve as the CEO and director of sales and marketing for a start-up microbrewery in Beacon, NY. Although the brewery never got off the ground, the experience gained, and connections made gave me direction toward the next phase of my professional development…real estate. I am very excited to be a member of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hudson Valley Properties team and look forward to fulfilling all of your real estate needs.
Personal:
Married since 1994, my wife and I have four sons (triplets born in 2000 and another born in 2007).
Community:
I have spent many years (and continue to do so) as a youth baseball and football coach in the Carmel area. I believe it is my duty to teach children that the lessons they learn on the field can be carried with them and applied to their own lives as they grow into responsible adults. I also volunteer with Second Chance Foods - a food pantry located in Putnam County.
