I am a Baltimore, MD resident who immigrated to the United States with my family from Kyiv, Ukraine at a young age. We settled in Reisterstown, MD, where I attended Baltimore County schools, played varsity soccer at Franklin High School, and graduated from high school a year early. With an academic scholarship in hand, I pursued a degree in Business with a concentration in finance from Stevenson University (formerly Villa Julie College) in 2002.
As a motivated and hardworking individual with a passion for helping others, I began my career as a loan originator after college. I quickly rose through the ranks, holding managerial roles at companies like Community Mortgage Group and Wells Fargo Home Mortgage while maintaining my status as a top producer. Throughout my mortgage career, I funded over $500,000,000 million in mortgage volume.
In 2017, I transitioned to real estate, joining the #1 growing brokerage in the Baltimore Metro area at Keller Williams. Starting as an individual agent, I eventually became the team leader for the #1 team in our market, which consistently produced the most sales. In 2020, I founded my own team, the Gene Dru Property Group, which has since been ranked as the top-producing team in our region and won several awards from local and national organizations.
Outside of work, I am a devoted family man with a beautiful wife, two kids, two dogs, and half a koi fish. I enjoy spending time with my family, tending to my garden, and watching my children experience the fruits of my labor.
