About

I’m a New Yorker studying real estate development at USC, class of 2029. I started working in the industry in high school and have spent each summer since in a different part of it: operations, construction and development, and acquisitions.

Each role taught the same lesson from a different angle: a model is only as good as the reality behind it. That lesson drew me to the finance side of the business, and it is where I am headed, with acquisitions as the goal.

01The long-term plan

The path toacquisitions.

  1. 01Now → 2029

    Learn the underwriting cold.

    Finish the B.S. in Real Estate Development at USC and spend summer 2027 and 2028 in real estate finance seats, so that no asset class or capital structure is unfamiliar by graduation.

  2. 02First seat

    Underwrite on the buy side.

    Join an acquisitions or real estate private equity team: underwriting, diligence and closing support on live transactions.

  3. 03After that

    Lead transactions end to end.

    Take deals from sourcing through the capital structure and into the business plan after closing.

  4. 04The long run

    Decide where the capital goes.

    Move from executing transactions to selecting them, allocating capital across a portfolio.

02Track record

Deals, debt,and development.

The product I built and sell, then the deal work behind it: financing and capital markets, managing what's owned, and tying construction budgets back to the model. Each exhibit pairs real figures with an illustration of how the work is done.

LevelBid.

Software I built, and sell to general contractors.

Up to 5competing proposals leveled in minutes, not hours

  • LevelBid is my own product, built end to end and sold to general contractors as a subscription.
  • Leveling competing subcontractor proposals by hand takes an estimator hours: five PDFs, five sets of headings, and the exclusions buried in the fine print. LevelBid reads them, normalizes the scope, flags every exclusion and qualification, and lays the pricing side by side in minutes.
  • Every material finding cites the page and the language it came from, and nothing is scored or ranked. Deciding who gets the work stays with the estimator.
