About

I am a serial entrepreneur with a proven background in creative product innovation, engineering, and operations leadership. In 2016 I started Abode, an end-to-end online real estate marketplace. Abode uses data science to match homebuyers with all of the professional resources they need during a transaction, from realtors and mortgage bankers to moving companies. The company places a high priority on class-leading, clean design which (among other features) differentiates the company clearly from other companies in real estate. Prior to that, I co-founded Alpha Lead, a marketplace that makes it easier for people with disabilities to find attorneys that help them with their disability benefits. In 2012, I co-founded Pangea Payments (gopangea.com), where I served as COO. Pangea is an innovative peer-to-peer payments platform that uses prepaid and debit card networks to dramatically lower the cost of international remittance for immigrants. Before making the transition to tech startups, I worked as an industrial engineer designing production systems for General Motors and Delphi. I serve on the Evening Associates Board for the Art Institute of Chicago and on the Chicago Ideas Week Co-op. Education: MBA, Columbia University; BS Industrial Engineering, Purdue University; Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School.

Company bio

Abode redefines residential real estate with an all-inclusive home buying experience. Leaving one-dimensional real estate search engines behind, we simplify the home buying headache by packaging all services in one user-friendly location and guiding consumers through the step-by-step process with ease. Abode uses analytics to match buyers with top real estate professionals, such as Realtors and lenders while offering data-driven insights on local housing markets. We also provide client management tools for professionals, making it easier for them to collaborate on transaction details all in one place. Abode is free for consumers and we receive a portion of the broker’s commission on each transaction in addition to other fees.
