I grew up in Bayshore, NY, on Long Island. I skipped some of the early grades in elementary school and moved schools frequently until finally landing in Islip. My insurance journey started as a student craving information after college. My father asked me if I wanted to pursue a career that would allow me to grow as an individual, hold me directly accountable, and reward me handsomely for my efforts. What excites me most about my work is seeing clients gain confidence in themselves and their own abilities after a transaction. I like to believe I help others move forward with a stronger understanding and assurance in their decisions. Personally, I enjoy hearing about different people’s journeys, especially related to business deals and real estate projects—it’s inspiring for me as a young, business-minded individual. I also have a love for reading mystery books, particularly Sherlock Holmes, and I enjoyed playing strategy games when I was younger. When I’m not working, I like spending time at beaches near my home and reading. I also attend church with my partner on Sundays and occasionally participate in Bible study on Wednesdays. I’ve volunteered with ACDS, a preschool for children with special needs, motivated by my brother, who is on the spectrum, and my desire to better understand and connect with him.
