About Me
Last modified: January 9, 2012
I’m a relatively simple person — I treat others as I want to be treated. I’m loyal. I listen well. I’m a family man who believes in hard work. I care about our community, respect the land and truly appreciate living in Western Montana – one of the most beautiful places in the country. When it comes to my work as an agent, I’m no different. I am very much dedicated to helping you anyway I can and promise to treat you with the respect you deserve. My overall goal is to ensure your real estate venture is a successful one and that you receive quality service from start to close.
MY STORY:
I was born in Utica…. New York, that is. Yes, I’m an east coast boy. I briefly lived in Virginia and grew up in the rough & tumble suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. Well, maybe not so rough. Our family settled in an old, white, stucco, country-style, farm house just a few miles from where General Washington and his troops froze their you know what’s off in Valley Forge. The infamous Horseshoe Trail ran through our back yard. Really not a bad place to grow up – an hour and a half to the Jersey shore, two hours to the Pocono mountains, two hours to New York City, and three to DC.
For eight years I worked in the financial sector for The Vanguard Group and Delaware Investments. In 1999 I took a sabbatical from work, along with two other friends, and biked across the country on Route 76. The route brought us through Missoula where we stayed with an old high-school friend. Missoula struck a sweet chord with me, and the next year I decided to relocate. In 2000, I attended the University of Montana for a second bachelor’s degree.
In 2003 my father and I formed a small Real Estate Investment company – Golden Stone Properties, LLC – which buys, rehabs and rents properties in several different states. I activated my license in 2010, and have been embracing the added challenge of working as a Real Estate Sales Agent.
I’m happily married to Daria Mochan, photographer and owner of Dancing Tree Photography. We have two precious daughters, Anna & Gia, and a trusty ole mutt named Sam.
