Boca Raton, Florida, United States
I am an entrepreneur and business executive with a proven track record of identifying opportunity, executing at a high level, and delivering sustained revenue growth—regardless of the challenge or industry. I specialize in transforming underperforming assets into high-performing businesses, building strong brands, and creating premium experiences that drive both profitability and loyalty. My approach combines hands-on leadership, strategic vision, and a relentless commitment to results. Throughout my career, I have built trusted partnerships and led teams in competitive, high-performance environments centered on execution, service, and growth. Highlights include: • Carmel Sports Club: Redeveloped a small tennis facility into an upscale indoor athletics and event venue, hosting youth leagues, luxury events, premium corporate functions, and large-scale themed experiences for up to 1,200 guests. • West Rock Indoor Sports & Entertainment: Transformed a traditional tennis facility into a nationally recognized destination and major hub for youth sports, summer camps, tennis training, and large-scale special events. • Kennedy Funding Invitational: Grew a local charity tennis tournament into the premier event of its kind, featuring legends including John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi, and raising $5 million for a regional breast care center. • Star Jeans and Plugg Jeans: Anticipated market trends and built a multi-million-dollar youth apparel business from the ground up, becoming the #1 supplier in key markets and scaling revenue from zero to $150 million annually. I have built my career on a simple principle: no matter the challenge, I make it happen.
At Carmel Sports Club, I transformed an indoor tennis facility into an upscale sports center and premium venue for high-end catered events, private parties, and corporate functions. I lead new business development, growing sales with nationally competitive local sports teams, leagues, and camps, while building strong trust and word-of-mouth with high-end clientele through superior service and catering that drives repeat business and referrals.
At West Rock, I built the tri-state area’s top-rated 100,000 sq. ft. sports and entertainment complex, featuring courts, indoor turf fields, Har-Tru tennis, a full gym, and a high-end catered events business. I drove strong year-over-year revenue by securing league contracts, creating and selling major tournaments and regional events, and developing successful birthday and special event packages. I recruited and led a 50+ person team to deliver exceptional events and customer service, ultimately selling both the real estate and operating business in a successful exit.
In this role, I built an annual charity tennis tournament, overseeing marketing efforts that maximized tennis and local community engagement, to create a highly successful, nationally-recognized tournament that offered $300K in prize money each year. The tournament attracted Grand Slam winners including John McEnroe, Pete Sampras, and Andre Agassi, and led to naming rights and a $5M of funds raised for the Leslie Simon Breast Care and Cytodiagnosis Center at Englewood Hospital.
At Star Jeans, I led a company of 25 in manufacturing junior girls denim clothing, and grew revenues from zero to $75M per year through partnerships with high-end domestic and international vendors and producers.
At Plugg Jeans, I built a highly-successful market for cargo pants in NY and CA, growing revenues from zero to $150M a year.
