"My foremost mission is to create trustworthy perpetual relationships and to properly position my clients and partners for long term success, all while having a positive impact on those I have the opportunity to interact and work with."

Born and raised in South Florida, Chris has had the opportunity to watch the real estate landscape evolve, grow, and mature in Florida for multiple decades now. After graduating from Florida State University in 2005, he set his eyes on the commercial real estate industry and dove in headfirst never looking back. As a standout athlete throughout his life, Chris has always instinctually desired competitive environments where commitment and teamwork are paramount to success, so his attraction to the commercial real estate business was a natural fit immediately.

Chris is married to his wife Kelly and they have two incredible children, a son named Lincoln (10) and a daughter named Remi (6). He is an avid traveler, adventure seeker and health/fitness enthusiast who on the weekends can typically be living vicariously through Lincoln’s same passion for competitive sports.
