My path

Every stop added something I still use. Scroll to travel through the years, or use your arrow keys.

Where it starts

Sarasota, Florida

Born and raised here, in a family of investors, agents and developers. Watching deals come together was part of growing up.

What it added

Real estate is about people

Before I knew what a title policy was, I saw that every deal is really a family, a plan and a lot of trust.

Aug 2020 – Jul 2024

Berlin Patten Ebling, PLLC

Processing Team Lead & Real Estate Closer

Back home and into title, at a high-volume law firm. I closed more than 1,000 transactions, and trained and supervised a 15–20 person processing team across seven Florida offices.

  • High-volume closings
  • Team of 15–20
  • Seven offices

What it added

Precision at volume, and how to lead

A thousand closings teach you that small details protect big moments. Training a team across seven offices taught me to build systems people can actually follow. And sitting across from so many buyers showed me how often the first-timers arrive unsure of their own numbers.

Aug 2024 – Sep 2025

Sun Coast Title Company, LLC

Real Estate Closer & Business Development Coordinator

A two-person agency built around new construction. I ran every file end to end, from title review to final policy, modernized the workflows, and grew referral business with builders, lenders and agents.

  • New construction
  • Every file end to end
  • Business development

What it added

Owning the whole thing

In a two-person shop there's no one to hand it to. I learned every step myself, and that growth comes from relationships, not just good work.

Nov 2025 – present

Society Title, Inc.

Regional Title Director, then Title Representative (independent) since Mar 2026

Led title and closing operations across multiple markets for an agency affiliated with a national mortgage lender, and built partnerships with brokers, lenders and builders. Today I serve established client relationships outside Southwest Florida.

  • Multiple markets
  • Partnerships
  • Florida compliance

What it added

The bigger picture

Running operations across markets showed me how the whole industry fits together, and exactly where first-time buyers still fall through the cracks.

Oct 2026 – present

BuildMyRealEstateTeam

Founder

Full circle, back where it started. I'm building what I wish every first-time buyer had: their real numbers up front, a step-by-step plan, and a local team they choose.

  • Sarasota and Manatee
  • Early access open

What it added

The calling

"How will I ever afford a home?" Almost every first-time buyer asks it alone, late at night. I want them to get an honest answer with real local numbers, before anyone tries to sell them anything, and to be back in the driver's seat. Everything before this was training for it.

Who it made me

Someone who sweats the details, builds the system around them, and never forgets there's a family on the other side of the closing table. Now I'm putting all of it toward making the first home easier to reach.
