Which project, deal, or transaction was the “game-changer” in the advancement of your career?
The merger of our tax certiorari law firm to create Herman Katz Cangemi Wilkes & Clyne, LLP, one of the largest tax certiorari firms in New York State with offices in Midtown, Long Island and Westchester, is by far the most notable game-changer of my career as a property tax lawyer. We can now offer our portfolio clients one point of contact for all of their property tax needs, through a highly-trained team of professionals with a massive arsenal of resources.

Who or what inspires you?
Leadership by example that doesn’t rely on a pep talk or talking points and instead enrolls the entire team to play on the court rather than watch from the stands inspires me.
