First job outside of real estate: I was a diamond dealer. I got robbed at gun point twice for $1 million - came to the conclusion that I needed a new profession.
First job in real estate or allied field: Never held another position in real estate. After I decided to leave the jewelry business, I started to work with some water conservation devices, but they were not tamper-proof. I realized that if I could design a tamper-proof shower flow controller it would be a profitable device and business.
What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Running a water conservation company with future plans to introduce my patented products nationwide.
How do you unwind from a busy day in real estate? I hang out with my family - I have three kids. I also spend three hours a day studying different areas of Judaism.
Favorite book or author: Rav Israel Shniorson from Liyadi
Favorite movie: Last movie I saw was five years ago
One word to describe your work environment: Exciting
Rules to live by in business: work hard. Be fair.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? My Wife
What is your dream job? Every job I do becomes a dream.
