Tell us about a risk you have taken in your life...
The biggest risk I've taken in life was dropping out of college at the age of 20 to pursue real estate. While everyone was telling me that I was making the wrong choice, I knew that betting on myself would pan out due to my work ethic and willingness to learn.
What is a challenge you have overcome personally or professionally?
A challenge that I had to overcome personally in order to succeed professionally was understanding that my new life was going to have to cost me my old one. I had to come to terms with the fact that to be successful, it was going to cost me leaving relationships and friends that were built for the person I no longer wanted to be.
What are you most proud of so far in your career?
I am most proud of the growth that I have had as a person since getting into real estate. It has taught me to value relationships and to be transformational instead of transactional. The fact that random people who eventually become friends put so much trust in me to assist them in the biggest purchase in their life leaves me eternally grateful.
What is most important to you right now?
The most important thing to me is my son Deluca. He tackles every new day with a bright attitude and has nothing but love to give. He has taught me more about life in the past 18 months than I've taught him. Becoming a father has been everything I didn't know I needed and I am so blessed to be his dad.
What does a typical day look like for you?
Consistency and routine are huge for me to stay dialed in. 6 am - wake up; 6:15 am - breath work; 6:30 am - breakfast; 7:30 am; Drop son off at daycare; 8 am - gym; 10 am - follow-up and prospecting; 12 pm - lunch; afternoon - appointments; 6 pm - family time/dinner; 8 pm - read; 9 pm - sleep; REPEAT!
Who is someone you admire?
I admire my mom for not killing me during my adolescent period of life. After my father passed away when I was 15, I went off the rails of life and was not the easiest child for my mom. But her nurturing presence, sacrifices, guidance, and unwavering support, reshaped my values and character, fostering a deep bond and appreciation.
