I began my professional career as a litigation attorney working at two major law
firms in downtown Chicago and before that for the Illinois Attorney General. After
contemplating a big career move for some time, I jumped with two feet in, joining
Triton to develop my multifamily advisory practice and elevate the company.
I'm in the information business. Investigating, cultivating, and informing clients on
information. This process for me used to be legal and factual information with my
clients in the court system, but I found my passion in advising clients on building
information in Chicago neighborhoods whether it be to transact or keep them
current on the market.
My work ethic, legal/zoning law knowledge and organizational methods assist in my
disciplined approach to what I do. The clients I have the honor of working with
benefit from my negotiation methods, prompt responsiveness and tactful action to
do whatever it takes to get the job done.
Outside of my real estate business, I enjoy collecting new experiences with my wife
(Kary), taking our Pug pup (Ozuna) for long walks, traveling and am a multifamily
owner/operator in Hyde Park/Woodlawn. I speak fluent Spanish (although I nearly
failed in Spanish in high school – Señora Norvell, if only you could hear me now).
