I began my career journey at just 12 years old as a stock boy, and since then, my path has been anything but ordinary. Over the next decade, I served as a firefighter and medic across various states and jurisdictions, gaining invaluable experience and resilience. My professional journey then took me into the world of real estate, banking, and finance, where I spent ten years working for a major financial institution. I embraced new challenges and continued to excel in these roles, building a strong foundation in business and customer relations. A significant chapter of my career involved running one of the largest nightclubs in the country for nearly ten years. This role allowed me to blend creativity with management skills and crafting unforgettable experiences for our patrons. Currently, I am the Director of Operations at a prominent accounting and tax firm. One of my proudest achievements in this role has been creating a tax retainer program from the ground up, showcasing my ability to innovate and lead in complex environments. In addition to my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to my family and community. I have been happily married for over 12 years, and together with my wife, we have three wonderful children: two energetic boys, ages 9 and 10, and a one-year old daughter. I also channel my passion for teamwork and leadership into coaching youth baseball and football, contributing to the growth and development of young athletes. By the age of 37, I've navigated a diverse and fulfilling career while building a meaningful personal life. My journey reflects a blend of hard work, adaptability, and dedication, driving me to continually pursue excellence in all areas of my life.
