Who is Dave Jones I was raised here in Connecticut in the small town of Prospect as an only child of two hard-working entrepreneurs. My Dad founded a manufacturing company and designed and built custom machinery. He also had a passion for antique cars and was a perfectionist, winning every major trophy and award there was for his restorations.

The restaurant business showed me I loved working with the public and the interaction. I made life long friends at my mom and dad's Dairy Bar. I would use the money I made from the restaurant to buy baseball cards and sell them on the weekend at craft fairs and flea ma rkets. When I was old enough took a second job at my Dad's manufacturing company which is when I figured out that what really excited me was sales and marketing. As a child, I never in a million years thought I’d stumble into the real estate industry, but you can’t always predict where or when you’ll discover what you’re meant to do in life. I also have my wife Lori to thank. She actually got her Real Estate license the year before I did. The excitement of working through her first closing made me know right away it was a career I was interested in. As hectic a career as it has been, the freedom from being self employeed has enabled me to always put my family first. I was taught at a young age that if you want something in life, you have to work for it. So that’s what I did. I continue to this day to ix
