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.
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 site 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 motel and 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 - more on that below.
Rhode Island's only buyer's agent who delivers a construction feasibility report before you close.
I specialize in land, teardowns, knockdowns, and major renovations along the RI coast. I don't just show you a listing — I analyze the zoning code, calculate your FAR, identify CRMC and flood zone requirements, map the permitting timeline, and tell you exactly what you can build before you make an offer.
Complete zoning code analysis — FAR calculations, setbacks, lot coverage, dimensional regulations — delivered as a professional PDF report.
Step-by-step plan: building permits, CRMC assent, DEM septic, variance applications, flood compliance. Timeline and cost before you commit.
As a builder with a civil engineering degree, I provide real construction cost estimates during due diligence — not vague ranges.
I find properties with hidden construction potential — substandard lots with modified rights, teardown candidates, and renovation opportunities.
When I know a property needs a $25K denitrification septic or 6-month CRMC approval, that's leverage at the table.
When you're ready to build, my company handles construction and ACRE LLC handles excavation, septic, and landscaping. One team.
Co-founded with Michael Ryan (BS Mechanical Engineering, U.S. Army). We bring engineering-driven construction management, white glove communication, and a first-time-right approach to every project in Southern Rhode Island.
Our in-house sitework company. We control the first and last step of every build — excavation, utility installation, septic systems, retaining walls, and final landscape construction. No subcontractor delays. No excuses.
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.
We are actively developing a 24-unit multifamily redevelopment project in Charlestown, RI. This is a ground-up value-add play leveraging our in-house construction capabilities through Appolonia Ryan and ACRE LLC to control costs and timelines.
This project represents the first deal in what will become The Appolonia Family 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.
Investment numbers and returns to be updated. All investments carry risk. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Raising outside equity capital to invest in real assets.
We're building a family fund that allows qualified investors to co-invest in our real estate deals. You get the benefit of our construction expertise, our cost control through ACRE LLC, and our hands-on project management — without having to swing a hammer.

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.
Meanwhile, private equity consolidates local service industries, shifting ownership away from operators and 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.
