Jay is thrilled to be on the WoHud team, as a local Montclair resident and someone who truly values the importance of independent businesses to the community.
Jay spent nearly 20 years as a working actor in NYC. As a veteran of show business, Jay knows all too well the importance of hustle. He approaches real estate with the same grit, passion, and professionalism, while always remembering to balance the stressful moments by bringing his trademark lightheartedness. Like an actor to the audience, Jay regards his relationship with clients as a sacred one. Doing the right thing in every step of every deal is of the utmost importance to him, both as an agent and a person. Reputation is everything in this business, and Jay looks forward to showing all his clients how deeply that is understood by himself and the entire team at West of Hudson.
Jay went to undergrad at Bucknell University. He immediately went on to obtain his masters in fine arts at The Institute for Advanced Theater Training at Harvard. When he’s not working with clients, Jay stays busy carting his kids to soccer practice and working with the PTA, seeing as much live music as humanly possible, and staying active as an artist.
