About Michael

Tagline

A serial entrepreneur with experience in tech, live entertainment, fashion B2C, and real estate.

Bio

I graduated from Northwestern University with a degree in Economics and moved into the investment/wealth management space. From there I founded a marketing website focused on media contests; founded a mobile app for parents that helps them determine any educational benefits from the games their kids play; am a partner of a live-entertainment company that has been featured in Forbes; and founded a fashion jewelry brand that worked with various up-and-coming celebrities and even presented our collections on numerous official Fashion Week runways as well as the Daytime Emmy Awards. These experiences collectively led me to my latest venture, which is a real-estate investment company focused on helping people in otherwise under-served and needy communities.
