👋 About Me

Hey there — I’m Adam! I’m a business and technology professional based in Phoenix, Arizona. I graduated from the University of Arizona’s Eller College of Management with a degree in Management Information Systems, and I’ve spent the past few years building real hands-on experience at the intersection of commercial real estate, operations, and technology.

I genuinely enjoy figuring out how things work and making them work better — whether that’s streamlining a business process, analyzing an investment opportunity, or just geeking out over the latest AI tools. Outside of work, you’ll probably find me on the golf course or pickleball courts, hitting the ski slopes, or flying my drone to capture some pretty incredible aerial shots.
