First job in real estate or allied field: At Eisner & Lubin, one of my first clients was a real estate owner with several properties. He helped me to understand the industry. With this knowledge, I have been able to grow the firm's real estate practice and today, approximately 75% of my client base is within the real estate industry. What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Having been able to grow our specialization in this area, plans for the future include helping these clients, many of whom were individual clients and now own major companies, continue to expand. As a trusted advisor to our clients, we are identifying other ways to present value to the people we serve and are proactively seeking new service offerings to support the changing needs brought upon by the market. Hobbies: Fitness, travel Favorite book: "The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcolm Gladwell Favorite movie: "The Godfather" Person you admire most (outside of family): Jack Welch: I appreciate his concept of winning and giving back to society. Keys to success: Hard work, dedication, open-mindedness and integrity If you had to choose another vocation what would it be? Professional services are in my blood. If I were not an accountant, I would probably have been a lawyer - or my secret dream as a child was to be an FBI agent.
