Two decades of building companies,
and now communities

I side with the consumer when others assume the terms are fixed: banking without fees at Zero, brokerage without commissions at Landian, and community-first places with Amala.

Background

My background is in hospitality and mixed-use development, and in building companies that take the customer's side. At Fidelity Investments I underwrote hotel, mixed-use and office joint ventures across a $1 billion value-add program. Since then I have done hospitality development work through Amala, my boutique hospitality firm, and entitlement work before local boards. The companies I founded were built for the customer rather than the industry: Zero, banking without fees, acquired by Avant in 2021, and Landian, a brokerage designed around flat fees instead of percentage-based commissions, with nearly 1,000 agents across 64 states and provinces. I live outside Atlanta and work wherever the site is.
