About Me -
I grew up in Northern Virginia, attended high school in Oakton, VA, and am the oldest of three brothers. My parents, an orthodontist and an interior designer, taught me the value of hard work and following your passions. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been fascinated by buildings and how they’re made, which led me to study Construction Science and Management at Clemson University. While I loved learning the technical side of construction, I realized I was more drawn to the financial and strategic aspects of the industry. That’s why I decided to pursue my MBA at UNC Kenan-Flagler, focusing on Real Estate Finance and Development.
