Entrepreneur since early teens, most of my experience is in the area of raising capital to finance projects ranging from real estate investment funds and real estate lending funds, to capital that is used to expand growing businesses.

As a young entrepreneur I honed my skills as a salesman and capital raiser working with a variety of individual entrepreneurs at a time when utilizing leverage in real estate was a growing trend. In the late 1990s, I capitalized on my experience and relationships that I had earned with successful entrepreneurs to operate proprietary investment funds and a small investment banking practice.

A staff hire I made in the early 2001 introduced me to my first international individual investor, and since then I have developed relationships with approximately 50 high and ultra-high net worth individual investors from around the world.
