What was your most interesting job before going into real estate? Graphic designer

Where did you grow up? Wallingford, CT

Growing up, what did you want to be? Like a lot of kids, I wanted to be a firefighter. The difference is my father was a firefighter. Needless to say, as the years rolled on and I became more and more interested in music, drums specifically, I wanted to be what the rest of the kids who didn’t want to be a firefighter was — rock star.

What do you do to relax when you’re stressed? There’s no time for stress. You have one shot at life. I don’t overthink the things I can’t control, which makes my life virtually stress-free.

If you could meet any well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why? Can’t choose just one. Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead because he and his music had such a huge impact on my life and helped shaped me into the person I am today. Or Ryan Serhant. His outlook not only on life, but the real estate industry, is one that I very much can relate to. You have to keep pushing not only to better yourself as a human but to succeed in this business. And by “succeeding” I’m not just speaking of income but being the person who helps people realize the dream of homeownership.

What is Boston’s best-kept secret? The Yankees.
