An affinity for real estate – specifically single and multi-family residential properties – and the value it brings to families, communities, and investors alike, motivated him to exit the banking industry and start his own real estate company. This passion developed after spending years facilitating the financing needs of his real estate clients and studying the intricacies of their businesses and the variety of assets these companies contained. Experiencing their successes firsthand and witnessing how real estate investment and development can positively affect lives and communities was the impetus for his career shift.

The vision for GFT entities is to grow a sustainable family business grounded in principled real estate investment and other businesses accretive to that core ideal. The company’s capital base has been initially funded through investments from friends and family and will expand to include outside offerings as it pursues additional funding and equity diversification.
