Born into poverty, I made a vow early on: I’d do whatever it takes to build a life of stability, abundance, and impact. I became a licensed clinical social worker, built a thriving therapy practice, and eventually hit the ceiling—so I expanded into real estate, and now own and manage a solid portfolio of multifamily units while continuing to serve high-net-worth individuals, families, and business owners.

With a background in psychology and business, I’ve spent the last two decades helping people sharpen how they think, lead, and grow. Along the way, I discovered that everything in life—and business—is 80% psychology and 20% systems. That mindset drives how I coach, build, and help others create self-managing, sellable businesses from the ground up. I founded Emery Center™️—a training ground for high-performing therapists, executive coaches, and business owners, to pass that on.

I live in New York with my dear wife Malke, and every three months we carve out time to travel together, always picking up a shot glass from each spot we visit. It’s our way of celebrating life. I stay sharp by building a meaningful life of clarity, purpose, and momentum, both personally and professionally.
