Please share a brief Bio.

Born and raised in New York in a loving family with three siblings, I discovered my entrepreneurial spirit at a young age. By eight years old, I knew I wanted to be in real estate, and 41 years later, I’m still pursuing the career I love. My success as both a sales manager and a realtor is rooted in building genuine interpersonal relationships. Few people can say they’re still close with half the kids from their kindergarten class—but I proudly can.

What are 2-3 things you would love to talk about?

1) Meeting one of my very very best friends, Michael Forman, in middle school!

2) One simple daily activity that has guided me through my entire business career

3) The call you NEVER want to get, but that happens to all of us!

4) Find your passion, work smarter/harder than everyone, with the extra 1% rule and always do your best!
