I began my career in property management in Metro Detroit, Michigan. During the downturn in real estate I purchased rental properties in the City of Detroit. At first I turned over the management of the properties to a manager. As time went on I decided to take a more active role in the day to day management. By doing this and attending REIA Meetings I learned to manage my rental property investments. By hiring legal assistance I was able to lower the taxes by two thirds and by putting all of the properties under a commercial insurance policy I was able to cut my expenses significantly.

My wife, Jennifer, and I decided to sell the properties and move to a warmer climate. We were able to do so rather quickly. We decided on Southwest Florida. We ought an All County Property Management Franchise and opened our doors in 2013. We joined NARPM shortly afterward and became aboard member in 2015. In 2016 I was elected president of the Southwest Florida Chapter of NARPM.
