What recent project, transaction, or accomplishment are you most proud of? Working with “Cleaning for a Reason” to provide voluntary cleaning for cancer patients has been the proudest accomplishment thus far. I first learned about this program when my mother was going through chemotherapy. Now that I can provide a service to those in a vulnerable position that cannot provide for themselves, like my mother once did, brings a sense of nostalgia as if I am servicing my mother those times I was not able to.

After spending decades investing time and money without a justifiable return, I wanted to create a business development organization consisting of friends who did not compete in business. A group of people who would gladly share their trusted relationships to “open doors” to new business opportunities utilizing their individual services or products to the commercial real estate industry.
