I am a dedicated professional and family man who believes that the best results come from a blend of technical precision and genuine connection. With a career rooted in the automotive world and a decade-long tenure in partnership management, I pride myself on being as comfortable overseeing complex funding structures as I am restoring a vintage engine. Whether I’m at the office or on the sidelines of my children’s games, I bring a high-energy, hands-on approach to everything I do.

Roslyn, NY
My core expertise lies in Partnership development and strategic oversight. I specialize in managing Partner Referral Programs, where I focus on optimizing representative performance and streamlining funding processes. Beyond the boardroom, I possess deep technical knowledge of high-performance engineering and automotive business operations, a skillset honed through years of owning and operating a dealership.
For the past ten years, I have been a key driver of growth at AFN, where I currently oversee our reps and funding within the Partner Referral Program. My professional journey, however, began long before that in my family’s garage. I spent my early years learning the ropes under my father’s mentorship, which eventually evolved into a successful career as a dealership owner. This unique transition from the garage to corporate leadership has given me a 360-degree view of the industries I serve.
While my formal career is built on a decade of corporate success, my foundational education was hands-on and “under the hood.” I grew up in a family garage environment, receiving a masterclass in mechanics and business management from my father. This early mentorship instilled in me a deep appreciation for meticulous craftsmanship and engineering—lessons that continue to inform my professional discipline today.
When the tools are put away and the workday ends, I transition into full “Dad mode.” You’ll often find me at Madison Square Garden cheering on the Knicks, perfecting my weekend BBQ technique, or tackling a DIY home improvement project. I have a passion for the culinary arts, specifically crafting authentic Mediterranean dishes I learned from my mother. To recharge, I head for the coast; my family and I are avid travelers who live for tropical island vibes, sun-drenched destinations, and the occasional weekend road trip to explore a new city.
