August Wolf, an Olympic athlete and seasoned financier, has a broad background spanning sports, finance, and politics. He advocates for young athletes and leads efforts to fund and support sports programs. Currently, he merges his financial acumen with commercial title insurance, promoting inclusivity in the real estate sector. He also advises federal candidates in South Florida. Born in Arlington, Virginia, on September 3, 1961, he was the second child and only son in his family. The Vietnam War prompted his family's move to Hawaii, and they later settled in Minnesota. He attended St. Paul Academy, where he discovered his talent for shot put, which carried him to Princeton University. At Princeton, he excelled in athletics, setting an enduring Ivy League record in shot put. After college, he studied in Germany and competed in the 1984 Olympics, finishing fourth in the shot put. An injury later thwarted his athletic career, shifting his focus to finance. He worked in several major financial institutions before venturing into commercial real estate, where he now represents a leading New York agency. He has also been deeply involved in athletics through his family and philanthropy, significantly enhancing fundraising for Princeton's track program and supporting Olympic hopefuls through his charitable trust. After a stint in politics, where he faced significant obstacles, he continues to leverage his experience to support political candidates facing similar challenges. Today, August champions diversity and opportunity through his nonprofit, Mission Opportunity, aiming to foster inclusion within the real estate supply chain. Through all his endeavors, August Wolf remains dedicated to promoting transparency, opportunity, and excellence.
