Real estate associations or organizations that you are currently a member of:
I volunteer and assist with fundraising for a non-profit organization that provides low-cost construction of toilets for disadvantaged neighborhoods in India.
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of?
My most interesting current construction project is the ongoing Veterinary Eye Center interior fit-out at 357 West 52nd St. in Manhattan. This new 2,500 s/f veterinary ophthalmology clinic, one of McAlpine’s several recent veterinary projects, will feature elegant finishes, specialized medical systems and equipment, and healthcare-type interior materials in treatment, surgery, and examination areas. I am also very proud of working on two other recent McAlpine’s projects: the $70 million, 250-unit The Lois apartment development in Brooklyn and the core-and-shell part of the $200 million redevelopment of the former Lord and Taylor Building at 425 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan.
Who was/is your mentor and how did s/he influence/help you in your career?
My mentor and strongest professional influence over the last three years has been McAlpine Contracting’s vice president John Nolan. He has made me understand that path to success isn’t always linear and one needs to keep pushing forward regardless of obstacles and difficulties. John’s commitment, professionalism, work ethic, and strong character–he has shown during the pandemic is something I look up to and will continue to aspire to throughout my career.
