about

my story

Raised in Petersham, one of the loud pockets of Sydney's Inner West. At 15 I was shipped off to the USA in pursuit of discomfort and personal growth. The vessel was an orange ball, and it opened doors to a network in the billion-dollar world of sports real estate.

I blend innovative sales processes built on traditional American fundamentals with a real understanding of the people of the Inner West.

THE STOMPING GROUNDS

Playing high-major American basketball gave me two things:

1) Perspective. Every other night a different city, meeting fans, making friends, hearing life stories.

2) Attention. Constantly in front of the media, millions of social media impressions, ESPN and Fox national TV coverage. Attention is the new currency, and I used it to get into rooms no other 20-year-old could.

THE DOORS

It was always going to be real estate. It started at Cincinnati's #1 real estate firm.

Then, with experience, a move to Chicago, acquiring skyscrapers worth over US$35M with access to a database like no other.

One final step: marrying sports and real estate, with experience selling to the Dallas Cowboys.

the product of the process

My practice is shaped by my experience selling in America: high-level sales acumen, driven by a desire to create a new way to buy and sell real estate in Sydney.

Back home in the Inner West, that process is now focused on Marrickville and Dulwich Hill, with results like 9 Woodcourt Street, Marrickville at $2,995,000 and the whole-block sale of 30 Barnsbury Grove, Dulwich Hill at $3.5M, alongside the $4.5M off-market sale of 11 Croydon Street, Petersham, one of the highest residential sales that suburb has seen.
