Recent projects: Brought Brickell Bay Office Tower to over 90% occupancy (and has maintained an above-90% occupancy rate for the last several years). He also opened a soccer facility in Brickell called Soccer Cage Miami, as well as a Soccer Academy for kids aged 5 to 17.
Favorite song: Andrea Bocelli's “Caruso.”
