I am the Founder, CFO, and Lead Underwriter of AFN, where I combine nearly two decades of financial leadership with a disciplined, analytical approach to business. My professional life is defined by a blend of athletic drive and a counselor’s insight—a combination that allows me to navigate complex challenges with both precision and perspective. Whether I’m deconstructing a deal or exploring a new corner of the globe, I strive to bring a high level of energy and intentionality to everything I do.
Time in Industry:
18 years
Based out of:
Brooklyn, NY
With 18 years of experience in the industry, I specialize in high-level financial analysis and underwriting. I have spent my career honing a sharp, logical mind for complex problem-solving, often deconstructing situations with a level of detail that has led many in the legal field to suggest I missed my calling as an attorney. This “lawyer-like” focus ensures that every deal I oversee is handled with absolute precision and a deep understanding of the underlying mechanics.
My journey has been shaped by eighteen years of leadership, during which I have served as the foundational pillar for AFN’s financial operations. My background as a lifelong athlete—specifically my years spent patrolling centerfield in jersey number 7—has translated directly into my professional style. I carry that same competitive spirit and “team captain” mentality into the boardroom, ensuring that our financial strategies are as robust as they are effective.
I laid the groundwork for my career at one of the world’s premier institutions, earning my Bachelor’s Degree from the NYU Stern School of Business. This rigorous academic environment helped sharpen the analytical skills and financial acumen that I apply to my leadership roles today.
When I’m not navigating the financial landscape, I am an avid explorer driven by a deep curiosity for history and culture. I prefer the pulse of a new city or the vastness of the wild over a quiet day at the beach, always seeking to experience life like a local—usually in pursuit of the world’s perfect plate of pasta. My most transformative experience remains an African safari, which instilled in me a profound respect for the raw beauty of the natural world. Closer to home, I stay active through tennis, basketball, and cycling, and I remain deeply committed to my community through various charitable organizations.
