August Wolf
Former Athlete and Finance Banker
August Wolf, an Olympic athlete turned seasoned financier, has a distinguished career encompassing sports, finance, and politics. He advocates for young athletes and has spearheaded initiatives to fund and support sports programs. Leveraging his financial expertise, he has entered the commercial title insurance arena, promoting inclusivity within the real estate sector. Additionally, he advises federal candidates in South Florida.
Born on September 3, 1961, in Arlington, Virginia, he grew up as the only son with two sisters. His parents' professions in academia and the military provided a stable background that influenced his diverse interests. The family's relocation to Minnesota during his childhood was pivotal in shaping his early life and educational path. He attended St. Paul Academy, where his potential in shot put was first recognized, leading him to Princeton University.
At Princeton, he studied at the Woodrow Wilson School of International Affairs and excelled on the track team, setting an enduring Ivy League shot put record. His athletic career reached its zenith during his studies in Germany, where he trained for the 1984 Olympics, ultimately placing fourth. This experience solidified his commitment to athletics, a commitment he carried into his professional life.
Transitioning from sports, he ventured into finance, working with prestigious firms in Silicon Valley and later New York. In 2017, he shifted his focus to commercial real estate, drawn by a longstanding curiosity about the industry. He now represents Langdon Title, a prominent New York City agency, and continues to foster relationships within the sector.
His support for athletics extends beyond his career; he has been instrumental in fundraising for Princeton's track program and founded a trust that assists athletes in training for the Olympics. His children have also followed in his footsteps, achieving significant success in various sports.
After a stint on Wall Street, he delved into politics, inspired by figures like David Koch, though his Senate campaign faced internal party challenges. Despite these hurdles, he remains active in the political scene, particularly in supporting South Florida candidates.
In 2024, he launched Mission Opportunity, a nonprofit aimed at promoting diversity and inclusion within the real estate supply chain. August Wolf continues to advocate for transparency, opportunity, and excellence across all his professional endeavors, impacting the real estate market and beyond.
