Born and raised on Chicago’s North Shore, Brian is a third-generation pilot whose roots in the area are deeply connected to both aviation and real estate.
His grandfather, a World War II Naval aviator, came to Chicago at a young age and built a successful career in commercial real estate, with holdings that included a celebrated Chicago hotel and one of the city’s landmark buildings. That entrepreneurial spirit and connection to real estate continued through Brian’s family and helped shape his own interest in the business from an early age.
Brian grew up in Glencoe before making Chicago home, spending years in Lincoln Park and developing a firsthand appreciation for the neighborhoods, architecture, and character that distinguish the city. He later returned to the North Shore and now lives in Lake Forest with his wife and their two rescue dogs.
Following another family tradition, Brian built his career in aviation and continues to fly as a commercial airline pilot. The profession has shaped the way he works: prepare thoroughly, pay attention to the details, communicate clearly, and remain steady when the stakes are high.
Today, real estate is a natural extension of Brian’s background. His family’s history in commercial real estate, his lifelong connection to Chicago and the North Shore, and his own understanding of what makes a property meaningful give him a distinctive perspective across both residential and commercial real estate. Brian approaches each client relationship the same way he approaches aviation: with preparation, sound judgment, clear communication, and an understanding that the details matter. Above all, he believes the best representation comes from knowing what matters to his clients, giving them straightforward advice, and earning their trust at every step.
