Your Real Estate Partner

I was born and raised in Miami, and if you ask people who know me, they'll tell you I never really lost that laid back, people first energy, even after fifteen years in some of the most fast paced advertising rooms in the country.

After college at Florida Gulf Coast University, I moved to New York City to start my career in advertising, then later to Los Angeles, before eventually landing in Norwalk, Connecticut, where I've now put down real roots. Along the way I led national and global brand campaigns for Fortune 500 companies across healthcare, financial services, and consumer goods. I managed multimillion dollar budgets, coordinated complicated timelines with a lot of moving parts, and got very good at one thing in particular: staying calm and organized when a lot is on the line.

That turned out to be perfect training for real estate, on both sides of the table.

If you're selling, I bring the same thinking to your listing that I used to bring to a national campaign launch. How do we position this property so it tells the right story. Who's the right buyer, and how do we get in front of them. What makes this home stand out in a crowded market. That's not a skill most agents have, and it's one of the biggest reasons sellers work with me.

If you're buying or relocating, I understand what you're going through in a very personal way. I made the move into this business because I saw how many people go through one of the biggest financial and emotional decisions of their lives without a real advocate in their corner. Having personally relocated three times for my own career, I know what it feels like to pack up a life and start over somewhere new. That experience shapes how I work with every client, especially those relocating to Fairfield County from somewhere else.

Today I'm a Real Estate Agent & Advisor with Compass, working with buyers, sellers, and relocating families throughout Norwalk, Westport, Fairfield, Southport, Darien, Wilton, Weston, and Stamford. I bring the strategic thinking from my advertising career, paired with the full weight of Compass's platform and technology, to every listing and every offer.

 When I'm not working, you'll usually find me out on the water with the local sailing community, one of my favorite parts of life in Fairfield County, or spending time with the group I founded here called the Norwalk Stroll Club. It started as a simple idea: local dads getting together to walk, talk, and build real friendships in the neighborhood. It's grown into a community I'm genuinely proud of, and it says a lot about how I try to show up for people, in real estate and outside of it.

I believe where you live shapes how you live. If you're selling your home and want it positioned to stand out, buying your first place, or relocating your family to Fairfield County, I'd love to help you get there with a clear plan and someone who genuinely has your back.
