I was born in New York City and educated through the City University of New York earning a BS in Physics, Queens College. I spent the first forty years of my professional career in the high-tech field, as founder and president of several significant start-up companies in the computer disk drive storage business. Prior to retiring, I owned manufacturing and design companies in Hong Kong, Oxford England, Monte Carlo and La Jolla, CA.
My wife, Dianne, and I have two married children and four beautiful grandsons (one grandson, Seth, lives in San Diego with his parents, my son Steve and his wife Catherine. Three grandsons, Gabriel , Hayden and Patrick, live in Naples, the children of our daughter Kristin and her husband Jason. Kristin and Jason are school teachers in Collier County). We moved to Naples in 2002 where I applied my marketing and international business management experience to the fast-growing Florida real estate field.
After obtaining my Sales Associate license, I completed the rigorous requirements as a Real Estate Broker and passed all State examinations for this highest level of licensure. Thus, I am able to apply an in-depth understanding of the complexities of real estate transactions. My many customers, from single family owners to major investment groups, give me an “A+” for a single-minded dedication to their needs.
SERVICE is how I describe what I do. SERVICE is what I provide to my long list of satisfied customers. SERVICE is what I offer to anyone with whom I establish a business relationship.
“Florida Riviera” is what I call our southwestern and southeastern corners of Florida. I have worked to establish numerous home buying and investment opportunities for the customers with whom I work on a daily basis. I also write an occasional web log expressing ideas on real estate investment in order to bring clarity and direction to my customers.
If you will email or telephone, asking for my discussion on 1031 regulations, I shall be happy to send you this information. 1031 is a very useful tool under IRS Code which permits investors to roll properties over time, thus providing high profits which are tax deferred. It is most significant that the investor carefully follow all 1031 requirements in order to avoid fines and penalties. My team of experienced intermediaries and lawyers are very familiar with handling this complicated process.
