Founder’s Forum

When I came to the United States with just $10.45 in my pocket, I brought with me a determination to build something meaningful. My background as a cardiologist taught me the importance of precision, careful risk management, and long-term thinking—principles
I realized could apply not only to medicine but also to business. My first step into real estate came when my wife and I took over the management of her father’s hospitality property. We immersed ourselves in the details, improving operations and enhancing the guest experience while stabilizing returns. That experience taught me the value of uncovering potential where others might not see it, and it inspired me to pursue more opportunities in real estate.

By reinvesting thoughtfully and taking a disciplined approach, I began expanding into more complex projects, with rewarding triumphs and painful lessons along the way. Those early experiences became the foundation of Encore Enterprises, demonstrating that with methodical planning, adaptability, and a clear vision, it’s possible to turn even the smallest beginnings into something extraordinary.
