My interest in real estate started at home. Growing up, I watched my father and grandfather both involved in different aspects of real estate, and those experiences left a lasting impression on me. I saw firsthand how they built relationships, created opportunities, and treated real estate not just as transactions, but as a way to build a legacy. Their passion sparked my curiosity, and from a young age I found myself drawn to the business.

By the time I entered adulthood, that early exposure had shaped my mindset. I began working hard in different entrepreneurial ventures, including Junkin’ It, a demolition and dumpster rental company founded in 2014. What started as a small operation serving investors turned into a trusted service business across Hartford and New Haven counties, and it gave me a foundation in building systems, managing people, and scaling operations.

In 2015, I co-founded Glenstone, a real estate brokerage, property management, construction, and lending firm. Over the next decade, I helped scale Glenstone into a vertically integrated business that served investors throughout all eight counties of Connecticut. We offered clients a hands-off investment experience — from acquisitions and dispositions to property management and construction — and I took pride in building long-term relationships based on trust and results. During this time, I personally purchased and sold over $50 million in residential and commercial real estate, managed 500+ properties, and completed 350+ transactions.

In 2025, I launched Legacy Private Client Group to take everything I’ve learned and bring it to a more focused level of service. Today, I work directly with private clients and partners, helping them achieve both short-term gains and long-term wealth through creative deal structuring, acquisitions, financing, and management. Whether it’s guiding a business owner through an exit strategy, helping a family sell a long-held property, or partnering with investors to grow a portfolio, I focus on building partnerships that last.

Beyond the numbers, my identity is rooted in family, community, and culture. I’m a proud father of three, a lifelong soccer player and referee, and a dual citizen fluent in Portuguese. These roles keep me grounded and remind me daily that success is measured not just by financial results, but by the impact we leave on others. The same lessons I learned from my father and grandfather — about integrity, perseverance, and building something bigger than yourself — continue to guide me every step of the way.
