Originally from the Boston metro, I worked in real estate investing in New York City for 13 years, gaining valuable investing, management, and leadership skills. Over my tenure, I closed over 40 deals ranging across a variety of asset types and geographies. I graduated in 2013 from Harvard and am currently living in Boston. In my free time I like to ride bikes, ski, and hit golf balls into the wrong fairway.
