Drake joined Essex Realty Group in 2022 with a focus on the sale of multi-family and mixed-use investment real estate throughout the Chicagoland area. As an Associate, his daily responsibilities include asset valuation, market analysis, and business development.

Before joining Essex, Drake spent several years in the competitive sports industry, where he worked for high-profile brands such as the Chicago Bears, Chicago Bulls, and San Diego Padres. Drake was able to refine his sales and service best practices during this time. He credits his professionalism, collaborative nature, and relationship-focused mentality to these experiences.

Outside of the office, Drake stays active through intramural sports. At 6’8” tall, basketball seems to come the easiest. He also enjoys getting on the golf course as much as possible. However, his handicap won’t show it.
