About Me

Greetings! It means the world that you’ve taken the time to visit my website. I’ve spent the past 14 years of my life ​collecting unforgettable memories, and forging rich relationships, across 6 continents. I am the proud Founder of Sense ​of Place Properties & Hospitality - a luxury real estate brokerage & hospitality advisory firm serving clients throughout ​Florida, California, Mexico and numerous EMEA markets.


I specialize in representing buyers, sellers, investors and hospitality/retail brands across multiple asset types - luxury ​hospitality-branded properties (condos, villas, pied-a-terres), hotels/resorts & investment properties. My commitment to ​my clients, and to myself, is to focus my efforts on properties and spaces that transcend just the apparent physical ​aspects - I dedicate myself to focusing on the emotional ​resonance they hold. My philosophy, and the philosophy of ​Sense of Place, is rooted in the belief that every client is unique, and every ​property/space should reflect the personal ​narrative of its inhabitants and investors. Thus, the metaphorical and literal meaning behind “sense of place.”


In addition to my brokerage/advisory services, I am the proud Host & Creative Director of “Find Your Sense of Place” - a ​spin-off podcast and platform inspired by the ethos and DNA of Sense of Place Properties & Hospitality. The podcast and ​platform interviews leading minds throughout the real estate & hospitality world (F&B, hotelier, nightlife, etc.), art, design, ​music, food & wine, culture, travel, to discover their respective journeys to their sense of place, literally and ​metaphorically.


Fun facts: I love wine (Certified Sommelier), art (One Art Nation Certified Advisor) and design (Co-founder, VADEN ​LEBLANC). My beautiful wife Loren, and I, love to travel and spend quality time at our 2nd home in beautiful San Miguel de ​Allende, Mexico, as well as do yoga, meditate, cook and spend time with our families. I kindly invite you to contact me at ​any point to inquire about your real estate-related needs, hospitality advisory requirements and/or to inquire about the ​podcast/platform.
