My Story

I’m from Avon, Indiana. If you know anything about Avon you know it’s full-on suburbia. After college, I was ready to explore more of what Indianapolis had to offer… 
 

So, I began my career in the inner-city of Indianapolis with Teach for America. I taught middle school Social Studies for 4 years at a small charter school on the city’s Near West side.

I learned a lot through that.

One thing I learned, was that I had an entrepreneurial itch that public school education wasn’t getting to. 
 
I had some experience in real estate through my first home. I bought a cheap bungalow in the Irvington neighborhood and was renting some rooms out to some buddies — “house hacking” per say. I loved what real estate offered!
 
By mid 2021, I took the plunge. Full time real estate.
 
My business ramped up quicker than I ever could have imagined. I was able to help sell over 40 properties my first full year, putting me in the top 1% of new agents. 
 
I’ve also been getting into real estate investing. We’ve grown the portfolio to 11 units using both partnership & private debt strategy. My last project was a Boho themed Airbnb in the Christian Park neighborhood.
 
At the moment, I’ve been able to help sell over $20 million in career transaction volume. In 2023 I started Roots Realty Co. with my partner. Roots Realty Co. helps people plant roots & invest in real estate to build to financial freedom.
 
I currently live with my wife, son, and dog in the Broad Ripple area of Indianapolis.
