About Me🤔

A New York City (Harlem) raised son of an immigrant. Former Division I Basketball Player 🏀⛹️‍♂️ 2x March madness appearances, which was the first time in Colgate’s History.

A Milwaukee transplant, who completed a 26 week accelerated certificate program, sponsored by MSOE, Marquette University and UWM, with a mission of diversifying the Commercial Real Estate Space. Currently, I have over $30million in projects in the pipeline in the Affordable and Workforce Housing space.

Currently, I’m a Special Educator for Milwaukee Public Schools, pursuing a Masters from Marquette University in Educational Leadership. Former New York City Teaching Fellow. Been an educator for 10 years.

Dad was a construction Forman for some of the largest General Contractors in NYC and unfortunate victim of the 9/11 cleanup project.

I’ve also worked as a Project Manager for several large scale construction sites in NYC. Last site was constructing the AOL/Time Warner building on Columbus Circle. I have a strong interest in workforce housing, preferably teacher housing projects👨🏿‍🏫🏠

My spirit animal is entrepreneurialship, especially for underserved community such as the community in which I was raised. I have many ideas to address disparities in underserved communities. Many ideas start from leveraging the very real political capital that underserved community have all across the nation.

Looking forward to generating ideas with all of you very impressive folks.
