Each facility boasts unique capabilities that allow for limitless production capacity. He attributes his success to his faith, often saying, "Although we oftentimes don’t understand what Jesus is doing in our life, if we are obedient and faithful to the word of God, then when it’s revealed to us later we will not be disappointed… And that is because Jesus never lets us down."

His career in finance began in 2001 at John Hancock, where his determination quickly moved him to the top. In 2005, leveraging his background in financial investments and family history in real estate construction, he opened Stylistic Designs Developers in Clearwater, FL, specializing in residential, commercial, and medical facility construction, which continues to thrive.

He was born in Long Island, NY, and raised in Florida, where he graduated from the University of Florida. A former collegiate athlete, he was a standout hurdler on the men’s track and field team, aspiring to the Olympics and qualifying for the Olympic Trials in the 110M High Hurdles before an injury ended his Olympic dreams. Despite this, he has remained involved in the sport, coaching track and field across several Florida, Nevada, and Illinois schools.
