Builder | Investor | Licensed Realtor | BS Civil Engineering

Builder. Investor.
Realtor. Owner.

I help people buy properties and build with clarity and confidence, invest in real estate, and take ownership of their financial future. While building myself, I'm on a mission to help 100,000 blue-collar entrepreneurs become financially free through ownership.

BS Civil Engineering

I'm a licensed realtor, a civil engineer by education, and a custom home builder by trade. I co-own Appolonia | Ryan Custom Homes and ACRE LLC — a sitework and excavation company with my partners Mike & Andrew. Together we control the entire site construction chain from feasibility to excavation to certificate of occupancy.

Aside from building I have an obsession with real estate acquisition and development. I am currently re-developing a 24-unit old motel and summer cottage project in Charlestown, RI, and launching a family fund to bring outside investors into deals alongside me.

The thread that ties it all together is ownership. I believe the people who build America should own a piece of it. That's why I founded The Appolonia Ownership Project — a community dedicated to creating 100,000 financially free blue-collar entrepreneurs through business building, real estate investing, and living life per my 5 F's below.

I specialize in raw land development, tear-downs, and major renovations along the RI coast. When you work with me as your buyers agent I analyze the zoning code, we figure out if what you want to build will trigger a variance or not, identify CRMC and flood zone requirements, map the permitting timeline, and tell you exactly what you can build and what it will cost before you make an offer.

Working With Me
01

Zoning & Feasibility

Complete zoning code analysis — FAR calculations, setbacks, lot coverage, dimensional regulations — delivered as a professional PDF report.

02

Permitting Roadmap

Step-by-step plan: building permits, CRMC assent, DEM septic, variance applications, flood compliance. Timeline and cost before you commit.

03

Construction Cost Clarity

I own a custom home building company — so I provide real construction cost estimates during due diligence based on actual build experience.

04

Property Sourcing

I find properties with hidden construction potential — substandard lots with modified rights, teardown candidates, and renovation opportunities. As a client, you also get access to off-market dealflow from my Appolonia Ownership Project community.

05

Negotiation Leverage

Knowing what we can build, the hurdles we need to overcome, and the real costs of utilities and infrastructure per town and state regulations gives us superior leverage at the negotiating table.

06

Ready to Build?

After closing, if you'd like to continue working together, I can put together your design team, spearhead permitting, and kick off construction through my company Appolonia | Ryan.

Two Companies. Same Ownership.
Every Step Covered.

Invest With Me.

Building wealth through real assets — not Wall Street paper.

I don't just build homes for clients. I invest in real estate myself and I'm building a platform for others to invest alongside me. The same construction and feasibility expertise I bring to my clients, I bring to my own deals — and now to yours.

Current Project: 24-Unit Redevelopment

Charlestown, Rhode Island

We are actively under construction on a 24-unit multifamily value add investment in Charlestown, RI. Alex Acquired this asset in 2024 via Seller Finance.

This project represents the first deal in what will become The Fund — a vehicle for outside investors to participate in real estate deals alongside us with full transparency on the numbers, the process, and the returns.

Inquire About Investing

Rebuilding the American Dream.

My mission is to create 100,000 financially free blue-collar entrepreneurs through ownership, skill development, and real estate investment.

America doesn't have an opportunity problem. It has an ownership problem. Millions of skilled workers earn strong incomes but never build lasting wealth. They work hard, generate value, and solve real problems — but they don't own the systems or assets that create long-term financial freedom.

While Private equity is consolidating local service businesses, shifting ownership away from local operators into institutional hands - a record number of small business owners are retiring with nobody to hand their businesses to. Decades of real-world experience are evaporating right in front of us.

The people who build America should own a piece of it. Skill is the starting point — not the ceiling.
