What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? We arrange real estate capital nationwide for owner-operators, developers, and private equity firms.
How do you unwind from a busy day in real estate? New York real estate is a 24/7 business. Vacations are for (somewhat) unwinding.

One word to describe your work environment: Collaborative. Mission's team approach yields greater work product, better efficiency, and more volume. Our team sits together on a trading desk and communication is paramount.
Rules to live by in business: Always tell the truth (and do the right thing); always work your tail off; you'll never close a deal over the phone.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead) who would it be and where would you go? My wife. Sushi of Gari or Sushi Seki would probably be her top choices.
What is your dream job? Working alongside my close friend, clients and family in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment. I believe I've found that seat at Mission Capital.
