I’ve lived in and around the Boston area most of my life. I also lived in Boulder Colorado and San Francisco California, each for a brief period.

The first business I ever owned I bought at 15 years old with a friend of mine. It was a bike shop called Spoke & Chain. We bought it for $3,000. In our third year we grossed almost $50k. I’ve been a serial entrepreneur since the womb. My father will tell you my favorite IBM PC Jr. game at 9 years old was Wall Street, a stock picking simulator.

I attended both the University of Colorado at Boulder and University of Massachusetts in Boston. In the midst of taking a seemingly endless variety of classes Al Gore invented the internet and I really got the bug. My entrepreneurial bent just couldn’t leave it alone. Two problems I had though were I had no money and from a technical perspective I was a complete hack. I did find, however, that I could talk and that I was absolutely determined. I bought myself a suit and began my sales career.

A few years later after earning hundreds-of-thousands of pre-IPO shares in a variety of companies that would prove to be internet flops, I decided to get into something more concrete. I had always had a passion for property, space… and for making money and moreover for figuring out processes that make money - so began my investment real estate brokerage career.

During the boom I made most of my money working with developers helping them to find, fix, and flip properties. Sometime in the middle of this I was reminded of the froth that I saw during the “Internet Bubble” and in anticipation of the coming burst I pursued my auctioneer’s license.

Today I specialize in working with high net-worth independent real estate investors. Programs I offer include acquisition, disposition, and specialized retirement services. Additionally I represent Tranzon Auction Properties, the nation’s largest real estate auction company, throughout southern New England.

I live in Melrose Massachusetts with my wife Becky and my daughter Madeleine. When I’m not working I take Madeleine to swim class, I mountain bike, snowboard, x-country ski, and occasionally run with my dog Ted. If I’m not doing that I might sit around and geek-out with Open Source software.
