Dr. Giordano has been a practicing physician at an academic medical center for ten plus years and has had consecutive designations as a “Top Doctor” in his geographic region. He has also published multiple manuscripts in peer-reviewed journals. He has an avid interest in personal finance and financial education and has formed a personal finance teaching curriculum for residents and fellows at his hospital. He is also an assistant professor at the associated medical school for his hospital. He began exploring real estate investing in 2017 and has now invested in multiple passive syndication deals during that time as a limited partner. He realized there was an unmet need and formed his own tool to better and more efficiently vet passive real estate syndication deals. He has personally experienced the benefit of passive real estate investments as a busy professional but also realized how few of his colleagues were aware they exist. He is now committed to changing that, and feels a passion and calling to bring exposure to passive real estate investments to more professionals to ultimately diversify from the stock market and forge their own path to financial freedom.  He is a proud husband and father of three children, and during his spare time enjoys hiking, exercising, and traveling to explore our beautiful world.
