With over 20 years of experience in the estate buying and art industry, I’ve developed a deep understanding of how to evaluate and work with artwork and personal collections. I founded American Estate Buyers to provide people with reliable information and guidance, whether they’re looking to sell, get an appraisal, or better understand the value of their items. My approach is low-pressure and straightforward. I work with a wide range of clients — from individuals downsizing to families managing estates — and aim to make the process clear and respectful at every step. My background combines hands-on experience with market insight, allowing me to offer evaluations that are both thoughtful and well-informed. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with clients, attorneys, and estate professionals on a variety of projects. I value long-term relationships and try to bring care and professionalism to each interaction.

I’m a pilot, former air traffic controller, and entrepreneur with a background in building and scaling real-world businesses. Before stepping into marketing and growth strategy, I worked in aviation as both a professional pilot and an air traffic controller at major U.S. airports. I still fly today and run one of the most popular YouTube channels in the aviation niche, where I document real-world flying, aircraft ownership, and the operational realities of aviation. That experience shaped how I think about systems, risk management, and decision-making under pressure, where small mistakes compound quickly and outcomes matter. My academic background is equally technical and behavioral. I hold a double major in aerospace engineering and space physics, along with dual master’s degrees in Applied Behavioral Science and Social Data Science. That combination drives how I approach growth, messaging, and systems design by blending engineering-level rigor with human behavior and data. In parallel with aviation, I built and scaled real estate teams and service businesses across multiple markets. I was ranked among the Top 250 real estate agents in the nation by RealTrends and The Wall Street Journal, an experience that exposed how much of modern marketing is noise versus what actually drives trust, attention, and customer behavior. I have operated inside commission-based businesses, managed sales teams, built lead systems, and lived through the realities of volatile markets, changing consumer behavior, and tight operational margins. Today, I advise and build growth systems for service businesses and operators who want real traction, not marketing theater. My perspective comes from being an operator first, running companies where performance, accountability, and results matter, not from theory or agency playbooks. Outside of business, I spend much of my time flying, exploring remote places by air, and documenting the intersection of aviation, decision-making, and risk in environments where preparation and systems are the difference between smooth outcomes and hard lessons.

My marketing strategy includes cinematic video tours, luxury photography, targeted digital advertising, detailed market analysis, and Compass Concierge, all designed to position each listing for maximum visibility and value. These results have contributed to my ranking among leading agents in my market year after year. My work reflects a focus on data, strategy, and steady professionalism. I am known for clear communication, organized processes, and careful attention to detail throughout every phase of a transaction. This consistency has helped me build strong relationships with clients and industry partners throughout the region. Outside of real estate, I enjoy exploring local trails, traveling, and spending time with my family. I remain committed to continuous growth and to raising the standard of service at Popach & Co.
