Fun Fact/Hobby
I am a VP of Operations who loves to learn and teach. I believe that knowledge is power, and I share my power with anyone who wants it. I love mentoring our team members to give them the knowledge and confidence they need to grow in their careers. I also believe that golf is a great way to relax, but I admit that I am not very good at it.
With 20 years of experience in the title industry, I have handled all kinds of transactions, from standard single property residential refinances to multi-state/multi-property commercial bulk acquisitions. I provide operational structure and guidance to the company and our clients with my industry experience and knowledge. Some of my notable achievements include:
• Leading the successful closing of a $653+ million SFR acquisition involving 4258 properties across 10 states.
• Building out new product workflows for Large Bulk SFR and Commercial Products.
• Leading our eAgency’s Closing department during an increase in volume of 600% over a period of a few months to handle a record 10,000 orders in a single month.
At home, I live with my beautiful wife, Melanie, and three children Declan, Oliver, and Lucy. I spend as much time as I can with them acting as a cook, chauffeur, and resident stand-up comedian to the groans and eye rolls of my loved ones. In my free time I enjoy upgrading my home to a “Smart” home and, for better or worse, I am an avid Philadelphia Eagles fan.
