Over the past decade, my journey with DaHanger has been nothing short of a passion project. When I launched DaHanger in 2013, I had a vision: to create a premium bicycle rack, handcrafted in the USA, built for cyclists who appreciate both function and design. But as much as I loved my path, the past two years have brought unexpected challenges that forced me to rethink the future.
Global steel price volatility, new tariffs, and rising overhead costs put immense pressure on my ability to continue manufacturing at scale. As a one-man operation, I’ve always prided myself on precision and quality—custom, low-volume production that truly stands out. But when inventory dried up, I realized that to save DaHanger—and to ensure its future—I needed to pivot.
That’s why, with a positive outlook, I’ve decided to pursue a licensed career as a real estate agent—and this is where CatskillsNomad.com steps in. Real estate isn’t just a career shift; it’s a natural evolution of my life’s work. For over 25 years, I’ve been immersed in high-end construction and design—crafting custom Venetian plaster finishes, leading renovations across New York City, and working as a licensed contractor in one of the most dynamic urban markets. That deep understanding of construction, design, and what makes a home truly special is now at the heart of my real estate practice.
At CatskillsNomad.com, I bring all of this experience to help you find your dream home in the Catskills. Whether you’re looking for a cozy getaway in Woodstock, a family retreat in Saugerties, or a mountain bike paradise in Gardiner, I know these towns inside and out. My background in bespoke craftsmanship means I pay attention to every detail—just like I did with DaHanger. And by keeping my real estate business at a boutique scale, I can offer you a level of personalized service that’s rare in this fast-paced market.
I believe that staying small, intentional, and hyper-focused on quality is the future—not just for DaHanger, but for how I serve you as a real estate professional. And if one day I return to DaHanger, it will be with a fresh vision—an LLC that celebrates craftsmanship, exclusivity, and a return to the small-batch, intentional work I love. Until then, if you’re ready to take the next step in your Upstate New York adventure, join me at CatskillsNomad.com. Whether you’re buying, selling, or just dreaming, I’m here to help you find your perfect place—just like I once helped craft the perfect rack for your bike.
