Registered Representative

I researched and recommended industrial stocks for individual and institutional investors. I wrote and contributed to 1,000+ research reports with actionable ideas in the building products, specialty distribution, and engineering & construction sectors. 

My years of experience analyzing the economic health of consumers, financial market trends, operational strategies and the competency of management teams have proven invaluable to evaluating a wide range of passive income investment opportunities.

Assistant Vice President - Research Analyst

Morgan Stanley

I served in a cross-functional role between equity and fixed income portfolio managers and our clients, managing all aspects of client suitability, new account integration, marketing, and operations. During my three years with Cresfort, we added over $100 million in new assets under management.

Portfolio Management Associate - The Cresfort Investment Group

Few asset classes offer as many advantages to investors as real estate. But actively owning and operating investment properties isn’t for everyone.

That’s where passive income investments come in.

Passive income investing through real estate syndications provide investors with opportunities to increase cash flow, earn equity appreciation, realize tax advantages, and leverage others’ expertise and capital.

The problem is many investors don’t know about these opportunities, and even if they do, they are unsure on how to research and evaluate the risks and rewards associated with them.

This is where I come in.

As a registered representative with Cityside Capital, my mission is to educate investors and financial advisors on passive real estate investing and help them gain access to exclusive offerings.

With over 20 years of professional experience and as an investor across multiple asset classes (including multifamily, self-storage, and industrial), I can help take the fear out of investing and be your guide throughout your investing journey.

Are you ready to take the next step to becoming an extraordinary investor who maximizes your investment dollars?
