Who We Are
Solving Real Problems with Technology
As Co-Founder & CEO of GatherADU, we're democratizing housing by making Accessory Dwelling Units accessible to every homeowner across America.
We've built our company at the intersection of technology, real estate, and impactful real estate investments—understanding that solving the housing crisis requires more than just software. It demands deep knowledge of zoning laws, permitting, construction logistics, and homeowner needs.
Before GatherADU, we built technology platforms and made strategic real estate investments. Now we're applying everything we've learned to tackle one of America's most pressing challenges: the shortage of affordable, quality housing.

Favorite Books
Why Nations Fail
Institutional quality determines prosperity. Inclusive institutions that protect property rights and encourage innovation create lasting economic success—a reminder that our work in housing requires systemic change, not just technological solutions.
The Little Prince
What's essential is invisible to the eye. A reminder to focus on what truly matters—the human impact of our work, not just the metrics. Building companies is about people, relationships, and the lives we improve.
The Human Comedy
Saroyan's portrayal of resilience and community during hardship resonates deeply. Even in challenging times, human connection and kindness prevail. Our mission is to strengthen communities through housing.

A practical guide to building technology companies. The emphasis on product development, team building, and startup culture has been invaluable. Great reminder that startups require both technical excellence and business discipline.
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Financial literacy matters. Understanding assets, liabilities, and cash flow is foundational—especially in real estate. This book shaped my understanding of how homeowners can build wealth through property.
Zero to One
Creating something entirely new is more valuable than copying what works. The framework for building monopolies through innovation applies directly to PropTech—we're creating new solutions, not iterating on existing ones.
