After graduating from the University of Southern California in 1987, he returned to Chicago to assist with his family’s business, where he gained invaluable hands-on experience in managing and renovating properties.

His early projects, including the management of a 28-unit apartment complex and a $1.3 million renovation of Monty’s Banquets, laid a strong foundation for his later success.
