I have been in the commercial real estate business since 2001 after I decided in my mid 20s that having a successful career as a Bull Riding Financial Consultant was less likely to help me achieve my life goals. I have a bachelor’s degree in Business & Communications and a Professional Degree in Real Estate from the University of Florida. I have been fortunate to list and represent over $100 million in Commercial Real Estate sales over my career.
I set an early foundation in Brokerage with Pappas Realty Company and thoroughly enjoyed working in Northeast Ohio for several years. From 2009 to 2020 I brokered, managed, and did commercial real estate brokerage for a few successful corporate and boutique firms in the southeast. While at Marcus and Millichap through 2020, I was able to sharpen my spear for a couple years before leaving to start my own private investment & income-producing brokerage firm in 2021 with my bonus father and company partner. I regularly work to increase my knowledge and expertise, attend commercial real estate engagements at industry conferences and take great enjoyment from working with all different kinds of people in commercial real estate. I have an ever-growing Social Media presence and helped design our website (www.DP-CRE.com) where I provide guidance for viewers on how to buy more multifamily & retail assets, experience and professionalism to assist in selling those same assets, and how to conduct market analysis. I enjoy creative marketing and I am told they are very entertaining and offer a nice alternative to the standard level of service.
My true passions are being a good husband to my wife, Alani and a good father to my son, Triton. Our family time, cheering on Tom Brady (Baker Mayfield), Mike Evans, the Buccaneers, the Bolts and the Rays and local clubs and groups! I enjoy taking advantage of our weather, getting outside to workout, hike the park, play flag football, piling our Australian Shepherd and kids into the truck and traveling, biking, swimming, making memories and boogie-boarding at the beach are priceless. I love to make others smile and laugh, often at my own expense. With small kids and a humorous family, there isn’t a day that goes by that we’re not laughing and having a good time!
My business motto’s are as follows,
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer
“Whether you think you can or whether you think you can’t, you’re right!” – Henry Ford
