Good Life Developers began the day I built my first tree fort at 14-years-old. The moment my hands touched lumber, I knew I was destined to create.
My friends and I built a three-story chalet in one day in the forest behind our South Jersey backwoods neighborhood.
The innocent yet ambition project planted a seed that grew into my passion for architecture, entrepreneurship, and the desire to inspire others through what I build.
I was raised in a blue collar town, where I grew to appreciate the fruits brought from hard work and physical labor.
My adolescent years were formed by the strong embrace of my stay-at-home mother, who instilled a great feeling of care and intention into her home and garden.
My father, a union machine operator, taught me the grit of workmanship and the pride in a job well done.
This balance of domesticity and craftsmanship became the building blocks of Good Life Developers, a union of elegant form and functional grace in development and construction.
Resilience was my biggest teacher in college, where I paid my way through Drexel University’s Architectural Engineering and Design program without scholarship.
My career spanned different electrical, structural and mechanical realities – I spent time working for a global engineering firm, explored the meaning of community within a grassroots co-op program and dipped my toes into the white collar world.
Working for teams like these, I learned to appreciate the importance of cooperation and communication. Yet the entrepreneurial spirit in me was too strong. I knew I wanted to start my own company.
At age 25, I started my own business, which grew to become Good Life Developers.
In 2013, I married the love of my life, Robyn. My wife and I currently devote time and love to raising our two beautiful children, Kayden and Charlie.
We live by the good life philosophy, and trust that our intentions for a happy and balanced family life reverberate into the world and inspire others to live a life of greater possibility.
