After a few years he moved over to the private wealth management division at a slightly lesser, but still very well recognized private bank.Eventually leaving the world of finance he became a real estate developer of modest success purchasing and renovating a handful of apartments and small properties long before social media and the boom in home renovation shows. In 2002 he acquired a run down and neglected 1950's motel in South Beach and re-christened it The Creek South Beach, inviting up and coming artists from around the country to design rooms. The hotel won Best Hotel Of Miami in The Miami New Times 2003. He has owned and developed properties throughout Miami-Dade, New Orleans, New York and Connecticut.As an entrepreneur, Fields has since owned, managed, been a partner, an investor, a business development "guru" in more than a dozen some odd ventures with varying degrees of success. Along with his wife he manages several philanthropic donor advised funds under the Noya Fields Family Funds "umbrella" supporting the environment, education, the arts and women's empowerment.Married with one kid, when people ask he tells them he's a stay at home dad.
