Vice President
The Praedium Group
Number of years at firm: 4
One thing on my bucket list: Play Pebble Beach.
When I am not working, I am: Exploring all of the restaurants that NYC has to offer.
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? I am proud of my recent contribution to the acquisition of Versol, a 240-unit suburban multifamily property in Bonita Springs, FL (Naples MSA).

I helped facilitate the sourcing and due diligence for the transaction and following the purchase, serve as the asset manager for the property. I look forward to continuing to expand my skills in the acquisition industry.

He is an important asset to our team and helps with underwriting, due diligence, securing financing, and ensuring that each deal is executed seamlessly. His extensive experience, dedication, and contributions make him a rising star.” - Chris Hughes, Principal, Co-CIO at The Praedium Group
