HI, MY NAME IS… Or Agassi.
I’VE LIVED IN THE AREA FOR… two and a half years and I love it because of the mountain views and serenity.
A TYPICAL DAY IN MY LIFE INCLUDES… starting around 6 a.m. with a yoga practice. Most of my day is spent working on my business, Stoa, with my co-founder Tom Sella. We have meetings in the morning with other leaders, and then I focus on strategy and development in the afternoons. I usually finish my workday around 7 p.m. so that I can spend time with my family.
MY FAMILY IS… my wife Luda, my parents, and a baby on the way.
ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT IS… yoga. It is my escapism and what keeps me balanced.
MY FAVORITE MOVIE I COULD NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING AND WHY… “The Matrix.” I love the eye-opening perspective for an alternative reality.
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE… pushed to the limits of my abilities, because I like to be out of my comfort zone.
THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS… “My Way” by Frank Sinatra, but only if I really have to because I’m a terrible singer.
THE ONE PERSON WHO MOTIVATES ME IS… my Stoa co-founder, Tom Sella. We have been friends since I was 12 years old but began doing business together in 2017. Tom came from real estate, and I am a lawyer. We realized the real estate market is disjointed and wanted to make it easier to navigate. With Stoa technology, real estate investors can scale their businesses faster and they know the quality because of a predefined scope of work for each project.
THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… it’s hard for me to say because I love laughing and find myself laughing out loud daily.
THE PERFECT DAY IS… is spending time with my family.
MY FAVORITE LOCAL NONPROFIT IS… Boys & Girls Clubs of the Valley.
MY LIFE IS… about finding joy with my family and focusing on the positive impact that Stoa can have for our employees, investors, and partners.
THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS… my rescued cats.
MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE… going somewhere with my family that has great vegan food, art, and design.
THE BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I’VE EVER RECEIVED IS… you have to set targets in order to get them. Focus on that, invest and nothing can stop you.
