One thing on my bucket list: Complete my Architect Licensing Exams
When I am not working, I am: Sailing, surfing, playing hockey, spending quality time with my family.
What recent project, transaction or accomplishment are you most proud of? In the past year, I had the privilege of serving as the lead project manager for three new residential properties in the Hamptons, each valued at $20M+.
