“Siempre Adelante / Excelsior” (Always Forward / Ever Upward) | COO @ Northpoint (Best-in-Class SFR Property Mgmt)

8+ years as CEO of a team with 450+ teammates and $2B+ AUM. Multifamily domain knowledge expert in: property management, asset management, investments, proptech. Mission-driven, entrepreneurial leader who loves to build companies and empower people at the intersection of operations, investments, technology. Ideating multiple stealth launch opportunities, aimed at disrupting the real estate space and empowering blue collar workers. More about me: - I believe there’s a higher purpose to everything we do, including (and especially) business. - I believe that anyone, anywhere can rise up and live abundantly, and that all companies should seek to empower people to do so. - All of us are called to be “saints”--meaning we have within us the ability to live extraordinary lives focused on serving God and others. - Building and succeeding in business are two of the most fun things you can ever dream of doing. - Raising a family is the toughest, yet most rewarding thing in life. I have four kids. - Being a good husband is also tough! Because you always take your wife for granted, though I do work hard against this. - My personal motto is “Excelsior” which means “ever upward.” - My favorite quote is “The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness” (Pope Benedict XVI). - Personal heroes include: George Washington, St. John Paul II, Churchill. - I was born in the Bronx, NY; raised in the Hudson Valley, NY; spent 6 years in Tampa; 2 in Austin, 2 in Bellevue, WA and since 2020 have been back in wonderful Austin, TX. - I believe in Jesus and eternal life – a reward we must earn through a life well-lived. I enjoy writing about several topics: ✍ Entrepreneurship, scrappiness, grit. ✍ Scaling companies, especially embracing “smallness” as you gain more size. ✍ The intersection of technology and real estate. ✍ How faith informs my business life. ✍ Family, culture and thoughts on “the right way to live.” Here’s how I’m different from your typical RE thought leader: ✅ I’m an operator who knows acquisitions. ✅ I’m a deal lead who knows how to operate. ✅ I deeply understand all the facets of bringing a real estate technology company to life, from ideation to incubation to product development to user testing to early stage growth. ✅ On the real estate investment side, I take an “intrinsic value” approach–akin to a Buffett / Munger approach. Rather than seeking to “time” the market; we prefer to be long-term holders.
