Will made the decision to return to his family roots in the real estate business several years ago, after a highly successful career in advertising and marketing.
Starting in the 1920’s, and led by his great-grandfather, Will's family has been extremely prominent and successful in developing large portions of Northwest DC. His family also were the primary developers of Ocean City, MD.
Personally, Will has been involved in facilitating and negotiating significant real estate transactions in NYC, Fairfield County, CT; Washington, DC, Nantucket, and finally Martha's Vineyard (Will's birthplace), where his family is currently involved in ongoing residential and commercial ventures.
Will moved to NYC after graduating from Brown University (BA History), where he was a member of one of the nation’s top ranked intercollegiate rowing teams.
He spent more than the next 25 years in the NYC area working in advertising and marketing executive roles, eventually reaching the level of Global VP of Marketing for a Fortune 500 food and beverage company.
Experience in international marketing combined with a passion for real estate in general, makes Will's transition to the industry an ideal fit.
Will is divorced, the father of three children, and resides in the Carnegie Hill section of the Upper East Side.
