How have your life experiences impacted who you are professionally?
In 2004, I saw an opportunity and started my career in real estate. I thought it was time to tap my personal experiences of having worn the buyer’s, seller’s, landlord’s, and leaser’s hats. I am engaged in commercial, residential, investments, business brokerage, and property management. Being a licensed real estate agent and associate broker, as well as, a five towns resident for over 40 years, I have seen this neighborhood change, grow and prosper.
Giving back to the community has also been a big part of my life in the five towns. I’ve been president of Temple Israel of Lawrence and am currently an active board member. I have also been involved with UJA, Nassau County Bridge Authority, the Five Towns Community Chest, LI Board of Realtors, NY State Board of Realtors, LI Commercial Network and I retired after 25 years of service from the United States Selective Service Board. My background and expertise make a great combination for me to help you!
