What I Bring

What I Bring to the Table

A rare combination of entrepreneurial grit, technical depth, and hands-on execution across multiple industries.

I don't just have ideas — I build them. Every business I've started was built from zero with my own hands.

Builder & Scaler

Built 5 businesses from the ground up across real estate, hospitality, product development, AI consulting, and business brokerage. I don't just strategize — I execute.

AI-First Operator

Among the first 1% of OpenAI users. I implement AI into real businesses — not theory, not demos. Actual revenue-generating AI workflows for real companies.

Mechanically Inclined

Can fix or build just about anything. From construction projects to backend systems to factory negotiations — I understand how things work at a fundamental level.

Licensed Professional

Licensed Real Estate Broker (FL, MA, ME) and Licensed Business Broker (FL). Trusted with the largest transactions in people's lives.

Results-Driven

$185M+ in closed transactions. Hundreds of 5-star reviews. Patents filed. Websites built. Every venture has measurable outcomes — I don't dabble, I deliver.

Financial Freedom

My hard work has provided the luxury of choice. I work because I'm passionate about what I do, not because I have to. That means full commitment, zero desperation.

Philosophy

What Drives Me

At my core, I genuinely enjoy helping people succeed. This isn't just a professional philosophy — it's what drives every venture I pursue. I've donated significant time helping businesses leverage AI and technology to transform their operations, often with no expectation of return.

When I was at my previous brokerage, colleagues I mentored encouraged me to open my own office because of the impact I had on their careers. That's how Shilalis Real Estate was born — not from a business plan, but from relationships built on genuinely wanting to see others succeed.

This pattern has repeated throughout my career: helping people has always organically led me to my next business venture. It's a philosophy that creates lasting partnerships and sustainable growth.

Helping people succeed isn't a strategy — it's who I am.
