Recognition, on the record.

Awards aren't the goal — they're a side-effect of refusing to deliver mediocre work. But they do help when someone's deciding whether to trust me with eight figures of their portfolio. Here's what's been said, and by whom.

The big one · 2025

Forbes Entrepreneur of Impact — Top 15 Finalist.

In 2025, Forbes named me one of fifteen entrepreneurs nationwide for measurable impact — across business, mentorship, and community. The finalists were chosen from thousands of nominees by an independent panel of business leaders.

Being on this list means a lot — but it also means a promise. The next chapter has to be bigger than the one that got me here.

The recognition came on the back of twelve years of commercial real estate work, the founding of The CREEA Group, and the bilingual mentorship program that's since put rising brokers, marketers, and analysts through real client work.
