BACKGROUND: When I was an 18-year old college Sophomore I bought and renovated a boarded up apartment building in Buffalo, NY that was slated for demolition. I have been self-employed in the commercial real estate industry ever since. EXPERIENCE: I've lived in the Tampa Bay, Florida area since 1991 and have been fortunate to be involved in over a billion dollars of commercial real estate transactions in various roles including: asset manager, leasing agent, real estate broker, acquisition advisor, mortgage broker, investor, developer and private lender. GOAL: Create strategic alliances with "deal junkies" that invest in opportunistic / distressed assets and need constant access to deal flow and debt / equity capital. My ideal client has an existing portfolio valued in excess of $10 million. MY NETWORK: Looking to expand my network of commercial real estate professionals including but not limited to investors, owners, builders, developers, land owners, brokers, attorneys, title agents, receivers, property managers, asset managers, due diligence consultants, engineers, architects, contractors, private lenders, agency lenders, banks, insurance companies, credit unions, hedge funds, private equity groups and private / hard money investors.
