August Wolf

August Wolf, an Olympic athlete and seasoned financier, has leveraged his diverse background in sports, finance, and politics to advocate for young athletes and champion inclusivity in commercial real estate. In addition to his role in commercial title insurance, he advises federal candidates in South Florida, aiming to influence change through seasoned guidance.

Born on September 3, 1961, in Arlington, Virginia, he was the only son in a family that valued academia and service, which played a pivotal role in shaping his multifaceted career. His early life was marked by moves that took him from Hawaii to Minnesota, where he settled into an environment that fostered both his academic and athletic inclinations. His introduction to shot put at St. Paul Academy set the stage for his future achievements in the sport.

His academic journey continued at Princeton University, where he not only excelled academically at the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs but also left a lasting mark on the track field, setting an Ivy League record in the shot put that stands decades later. His transition from a modest high school athlete to an Olympic contender was fueled by determination and rigorous training, culminating in a fourth-place finish at the 1984 Olympics—a significant, though bittersweet, achievement.

Post-Olympics, his career took a financial turn, with positions at Kidder Peabody and various other prominent financial institutions. This eventually led him to the commercial real estate sector, where he quickly established himself as a key player, representing a top New York City title agency and fostering significant professional relationships.

His commitment to athletics persisted through his support for Princeton's track program and the founding of the U.S. Athletic Trust, benefiting countless athletes. His political foray, inspired by influential figures, saw him run for the U.S. Senate, although he faced significant obstacles within his party. Undeterred, he continues to support political candidates, leveraging his extensive network and experience.

In 2024, he founded Mission Opportunity, a nonprofit dedicated to promoting inclusivity in real estate, addressing disparities in an industry that serves a diverse populace. August Wolf's career is a testament to his dedication to excellence, opportunity, and advocacy, making him a respected figure in every field he touches.
