Building Strong Men And Legacies

Let’s Hear About Waikiki

I grew up in Brooklyn, raised by a single mother who taught me grit and faith. I became the  “man of the house” before I knew what manhood meant. That pressure hardens boys into  survivors — but it can also hide pain. I brought that same drive into my career. Over 25  years in commercial real estate and construction,

I’ve overseen more than $5 billion in  projects — from landmark developments to complex repositionings. I’ve sat at tables with  investors, family offices, contractors, and city officials. I’ve led under pressure and delivered  when the stakes were high. But success in public doesn’t heal what’s hurting in private.

My  marriage, my peace, and my integrity were tested. God met me in that battle and rebuilt me  from the inside out. He taught me how to win without losing what matters most — my faith,  my family, and my soul.
