Mr. Oppenheim attended City College of New York, Bernard Barruch School of Business. Upon graduation with a degree in accounting, he pursued a career in restaurant and club operations which resulted in his relocation to Houston, Texas.

Mr. Oppenheim planned, operated, and owned some of the most well known and successful restaurants and clubs in Houston and was highly regarded as a consultant in this field. His involvement in the restaurant and club business enabled him to learn first hand the mechanics of the real estate business through personal investment and negotiation on behalf of others.

Prior to forming The Oppenheim Group, Mr. Oppenheim was Director of Marketing and Leasing for a Houston real estate firm where he represented client companies in the satisfaction of their real estate needs. In addition, he assisted client building owners, as their agent, in procuring buyers and tenants for their buildings while managing the activities of a staff of eight professionals in such representation.
