Concept → Identity → Momentum → Scale

I don't just imagine what's next. I build it.

Twenty years building brands from the ground up — the identity, the creative, and the campaigns that get people talking and make a name impossible to forget. Then the execution that turns that momentum into real, scalable growth.

01 — The short version

Twenty years.
Fifteen-plus brands.
One driving force.

I've spent my life turning ideas into businesses and businesses into brands people actually talk about. It started early — I became the youngest store manager in RadioShack history, helped build one of New York's largest real estate schools, then helped found and scale Rapid Realty's franchise operation as its COO, growing it from a single Brooklyn storefront into a 100+ location, multi-state franchise before it was acquired thirteen years later.

Since then I've helped build and run brands across hospitality, nightlife, law, fitness and real estate — including Kakes NYC, which became a viral success, with visitors from around the world, coming through its doors. My most recent ventures being Partake NYC, Elevated Lounge and Discrimination Watchdogs. I'm an idea guy who can actually execute: brand, identity, creative, momentum, systems and growth.

Got a concept? I'll build its brand from nothing. Got a business? I'll get people talking, grow the fanbase, and put the systems in place to make it scale.

02 — How I work w/ you

Most people stop at the idea.
I take it the whole way.

01

Ideate

We pressure-test the concept, find the angle, and lock the brand and the offer. The fun part — and where most people stop. I don't.

02

Build the Brand

Identity, look, voice — the whole creative world. I dress a brand up for public consumption and make people fall for it.

03

Build Momentum

Campaigns that get people talking. I grow the fanbase, build buzz, and make a brand impossible to forget.

04

Scale

Then the part that counts: execution of well-thought-out plans, the systems and teams that make a business actually produce and scale. Exit too — when you're ready.

03 — What I'm great at

Four things I've spent twenty years getting good at.

Hire me for one of these or all four — they're the same muscles I've used to build every company on this page.

Branding & Marketing

Make a brand impossible to ignore.

Identity, positioning, campaigns and creative direction. Viral stunts, full rebrands, a best-selling book and award-winning films — I've done the loud stuff and made it work.

Sales Development

Build the engine that closes.

Scripts, training and funnels that actually convert. At Moshes Law that work drove the firm's lowest-ever cost per acquisition.

Recruiting & Teams

Find, train and keep great people.

I've recruited and trained 1,100+ agents and run teams of 40 to 70. I know how to bring people in, get them good, and make them stay.

Systems & Operations

The backbone that lets it scale.

Proprietary software, franchise playbooks, SOPs and the operating structure behind the scenes. The unglamorous part that makes growth possible.

04 — Companies built w/ great teams

From a single storefront to brands people line up for.

A few of the businesses I've helped concept, launch, scale — and in some cases, sell.

Rapid Realty ribbon cutting
National Franchise COO · Founding Team · 2005–2018

Rapid Realty

The first-ever rental-based real estate franchise. As COO and part of the founding team, I helped grow it from one Brooklyn storefront to 100+ locations across multiple states — building nearly every piece that held it together: marketing and design, training and franchise-support systems, legal and financial operations, and the entire infrastructure. We recruited and trained 1,100+ agents and landed on the Inc. 5000. The Real Deal called us "the Five Guys of real estate." Acquired after 13 years.

Franchising — built to scale

One storefront. Then they were everywhere.

As COO, I helped build the engine behind the franchise — the recruiting, marketing and infrastructure that let office after office open and thrive. This is what scaling actually looks like.
