My career path is proof that you never know where life will take you. I’ve spent a big chunk of my career within the tech startup scene, mainly focusing on sales gigs, although I have spent time on the techie side as a coder, working in languages such as Java, C++, and more recently, Python - specifically in Machine Learning applications. But selling stuff is where I found my groove.
Back in 2016, I was the VP of Sales and Customer Success at WebAssign, an Edu Tech company. We ended up selling the company to Cengage Publishing, after which my wife and I decided to switch things up and dive into the world of small biz. We bought a QSR franchise (Which Wich) in addition to launching a food truck and busted our tails to make it thrive and ended up nearly doubling revenues in three years before selling it off in 2020, right smack in the middle of COVID craziness.
Having spent years in and out of regional bands, I have a strong passion for music and in 2021, life took a wild turn when - out of boredom - I started making TikTok vids about music. Surprisingly, people liked what I had to say and before I knew it, several radio Program Directors began to contact me, ultimately in 2022 I signed a contract with SiriusXM and can be heard frequently on Classic Rewind, Classic Vinyl, and Deep Tracks. Plus, I’ve been active in creating programs for StrykTV, a Country music video channel.
More recently I’ve had the opportunity to play a role in connecting a couple of my favorite bands as a teen with new label deals and this year I’ll be participating in a couple of music-related documentaries. Having once thought I had a fairly general understanding of the music industry, the past couple of years have offered a true “peak behind the curtain" so if anyone has kids who think they want to become professional musicians, hit me up and I’ll be happy to provide a glimpse of where the industry is headed and what they need to prepare for - lol.
Late in 2023, I decided to mix things up again and got my real estate license. Now, I'm teaming up with my wife as a real estate dynamic duo and am sincerely excited to be part of the Navigate team. After two decades of office life, I'm pumped for this new adventure.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email [email protected]
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all of the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside of it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers), both for Windows and for MAC users.
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs, there may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to [email protected]
