About me
Stacy grew up in Milwaukee's 53206 area code, 1 of 11 children to a single mother. Stacy was in and out of the foster care system in Milwaukee for most of his childhood and teen years. A lack of stability, support, and proper guidance led him on a rough path in his younger years. Stacy's story is similar to many kids who grow up in our city and get lost in the system without a voice.
Yet, Stacy's story is one of triumph and hope, showing that despite where you come from, even the smallest voice can one day be heard. Stacy was able to find his path, receive a pardon from Governor Tony Evers, obtain his associate degree in quality management from Waukesha County Technical College, and recently received his bachelor's degree in business administration from Cardinal Stritch University, where he was one of the three speakers in the commencement ceremony.
Stacy's first career was in the manufacturing sector, where he worked his way up through various positions for 17 years, eventually becoming a quality manager overseeing several plants. His personal experience with housing instability instilled a passion in him for affordable housing and financial literacy, which led to his second career in real estate.
Stacy is president and managing broker of Dream Investment Holdings, LLC, located in Milwaukee, WI. He sits on several real estate boards and committees on a local, state, and national level. He is the architect and one of two founding members of the Milwaukee chapter of the National Association of Real Estate Brokers. Called the Greater Milwaukee Board of REALTIST, it is the only professional association dedicated to African-American real estate professionals and their communities.
Stacy is passionate about empowering others, creating community, and looking for creative solutions to address the heart of a problem. His grassroots campaign stands on a foundation of equity by ensuring everyone has access to the resources and knowledge they need to create a thriving life for themselves and their families. He believes in shifting the status quo in hopes of better representation within our government and inspiring those with nontraditional political backgrounds to understand their voices matter.
Stacy owns a home in the Arlington Gardens neighborhood with his wife, Xavier, and three children, Andrew, Micah, and Londyn.
