Much More Than My Work

I’m a big fan of our great City of Chicago!

I live in the Lincoln Park neighborhood with my wife, three kids (all proud Chicago public school graduates) and our dog, Jax. In the mornings, you might find me lumbering through the North side on a jog. In the evenings, I am up for enjoying the city spirit, either dining at a local gem or catching up with friends at a vibrant bar. I enjoy investing in local apartment buildings including holdings in the Lakeview, Roscoe Village, Bucktown, Wicker Park, Logan Square, and Ukrainian Village neighborhoods. I’m also an active contributor to several local charities, including the Jewish United Fund and Meals on Wheels.
