Born and raised on Madison’s East Side, Akeem is a fourth-generation Purgolder with deep roots and a true passion for his hometown community.
After college, Akeem traded Wisconsin winters for the jungles of Panama, spending time on a coffee farm harvesting and sorting beans while immersing himself in a new culture and building lasting connections with people from around the world.
Back in Madison, Akeem jumped into the local food scene at Banzo (if you know, you know!), where he spent eight incredible years sharpening his customer service skills, coordinating unforgettable events, and helping operate their award-winning food cart — a seven-time Madison Magazine Best Food Cart winner.
Today, Akeem brings that same energy, hospitality, and care to the world of real estate. His passion for service, love of people, and tireless work ethic shine through in every interaction. Whether you're buying your first home, searching for your dream property, or expanding your investment portfolio, Akeem is committed to making the process smooth, seamless — and even a little fun.
When he’s not working, you’ll find him battling it out at The Harmony Bar’s trivia nights (warning: he's a secret trivia champ!), biking the scenic Lake Loop, or hunting down Madison’s newest and greatest restaurants.
With his local expertise, global perspective, and commitment to exceptional service, Akeem is here to help you navigate your next real estate adventure with confidence.
