🌿 About Me: A Heart for Hunterdon
I grew up between two worlds — the hustle of Elizabeth and the quiet beauty of Hunterdon County. When my family moved here in the sixth grade, something in me changed. I fell in love with the open fields, the tight-knit communities, and the slower, richer rhythm of life.
But like many, I later got swept up in the pursuit of success — fast, loud, and all-consuming. That path led me away from the simplicity I loved… and straight into burnout. It wasn’t until I hit pause, recovered, and became a father to my beautiful daughter, Hope, that I realized what truly matters.
The life I was chasing was already here — in every sunrise over a pasture, every handshake at a farmers market, every small-town smile.
Hunterdon County is more than a place. It’s a heart — and I believe it’s worth preserving.
As development accelerates and our landscapes begin to shift, I’ve made it my mission to be a voice for the people who’ve made this county home: the farmers, my neighbors in Lebanon Borough, and all those who cherish this corner of the world.
Through real estate and small business I’m helping families transition with dignity, guiding farmers to preserve and profit from their land, and connecting outdoor lovers to recreational land that heals and inspires.
Because this isn’t just a business and your property isn’t just real estate.
It’s a legacy worth protecting.
🧭 3 Paths I Help You Navigate in Real Estate
1. Preserving Farmland & Micro-Business Development
Helping landowners sell development rights through New Jersey’s preservation programs, while exploring ways to generate new income from micro-businesses and event venues — all within legal and ethical frameworks.
2. Helping Residential Lebanon Borough Neighbors
Whether you’re downsizing, moving on, or helping a loved one transition, I bring care, clarity, and local market expertise to every home sale in the place I’ve called home for decades.
3. Connecting People to Recreational Land
From hunters and campers to families looking for off-grid retreats, I match people with land that feeds the soul —
and advise on use, access, and stewardship.
🧭 3 Paths I Help You Navigate in Digital Marketing
1. System Development and Sales Funnels

✅ Build a business, not just a brand
3. Paid advertising and Client Acquisitions

✅ Attract the right clients consistently
✅ Maximize your ROI on ad spend
