What inspired you to pursue a career in your industry, and what path brought you to your current role?

Real estate provides a frictionless, flexible barrier to entry, with virtually limitless potential that surrounds you with hungry people who have a leverageable capacity for creative investment that surpasses people who like to day trade. This is what drew me to the industry when I first started dabbling in 2008, it’s what drew me back in 2015, and again in 2025. Working in service of the diverse group of people known as commercial property owners is like reading countless living biographies on the innumerable paths to compounding wealth.

What trends or opportunities do you see shaping the future of your industry?

I think that the trend towards mass AI-usage will self-correct as the pendulum swings back from the high point it’s currently trending towards. Aside from the aggregation of data, or quick, advanced calculations optimization will never be of greater value than a personal touch. I don’t believe that broker’s will be displaced or eliminated, except those who are consistently looking for shortcuts, and those agents will be disqualified only by their own hands. There’s no substitute for effort, for skin in the game.
