He comes from a place that rates high in food culture, architectural history, and questionable politics. It is called Chicago and he misses it a lot and loved being born and raised there. He is not going back. He came here to Portland for a visit and could not get it out of his mind. The proximity of Mt. Hood and all its wonders, the food carts, the waterfalls, the Gorge…are just a few of the beautiful aspects of this state that spoke to him. He moved here in July 2013. The first year of living here he wondered if he would stay despite the qualities of Portland and Oregon in general. The more he worked and had some introspective moments the more he realized, he is staying because of the people. Portland and its people are nice. Plain old nice and proud. They are open and welcoming. They ask, “What made you want to move here?” knowing that they want to share their reasons for living here. The air here is literally and figuratively clean. He has had multiple conversations with people about their love of Oregon and all it has to offer. A LITTLE MORE… He went to college for business, dropped out, went back, and finished with a degree in healthcare. Then went back to finish his BS in Business Administration with a minor in International Finance. While working in some of the busiest Emergency Departments in Chicago, Manhattan, and San Francisco he was always searching for more. He co-founded a sports uniform business that supplied basketball uniforms to approximately forty-five schools throughout the city of Chicago. After selling his shares to the co-founder he obtained his REALTOR® license in Chicago in July of 2007. He became rookie of the year for his company and fell in love with all thing’s real estate. Now he is here and has purposely waited to obtain his Portland REALTOR® license until he felt he could speak to clients about the neighborhoods, schools, personalities, and quirks of Portland. He wants to share his knowledge and newfound love for Portland and its people with others and help them find their LIVING ROOM.
