What was your greatest professional accomplishment or most notable project, deal, or transaction in 2024? 

KW COMMERCIAL, a division of Keller Williams Realty Greater Rochester, has won the assignment to be the exclusive representative of the 170-acre mixed-use themed development adjacent to NASCAR’s top venue to race enthusiasts, Watkins Glen International Race Track. I will lead the development plans for the independently-owned concept that echoes the area’s lifestyles of the car collector and racing enthusiasts. The project will be rolled out in a multi-phase construction effort supported by KW COMMERCIAL with additional worldwide support from KW Sports + Entertainment. This project will enhance the multi-seasonal interest of the Watkins Glen area, adding to the Finger Lakes Region’s reputation as a vacation destination.
