Q: What milestone achievement would you consider the “game-changer” in advancing your career? A: Founding IREON was most certainly a game-changer in my career. I started this organization because I only wanted to work among “trusted, caring friends” who are motivated to help each other expand their business opportunities.
When did you discover NYREJ, and what was your title and company name? I can’t pinpoint the exact year. EW Howell has had a long-term relationship with NYREJ, and this was underway when I joined EW Howell Construction Group as director of business development.
When did you discover NYREJ and what was your title and company name at that time? In 2004 I joined LVM Group, a PR firm that specialized in commercial real estate, as an account supervisor. That’s when I discovered NYREJ.
How has NYREJ helped you, your firm or your industry? As someone who strongly believes “it’s not who you know, but who knows you”, being in the NYREJ 540 times means that we were working on our market presence and NYREJ helped us get the word out about what we were doing and how we were doing it.
Most memorable “15 minutes of fame” in NYREJ: I’d have to say our most memorable and favorite “15 Minutes of Fame” NYREJ moment was when Maltz Auctions (formerly David R. Maltz & Co.) was highlighted as the “Company of the Month” in November 2014
