Personal
Originally from New Jersey and now calling Houston home, Ozzy enjoys taking advantage of any opportunity to travel and experience new places. When he’s not working with clients, you can usually find him cheering on the Longhorns at a University of Texas football game, following soccer, or planning his next trip. He believes a little friendly competition, whether on the field or in the stands, makes life more interesting.
