About
Professional Summary
I partner with industry veterans Vern Schultz and Mike Senner at Colliers International in Chicago to provide strategic real estate advice to corporations, landlords, investors and entrepreneurs. I provide clients with skilled guidance on network optimization, portfolio and transaction management.
I began my career at CTK Chicago Partners in 2017. While there, I developed countless long-term relationships and learned how to provide best-in-class service to my clients. I was responsible for the entire process from beginning to end: from sourcing prospects, site selection, to negotiation, and ultimately, successful execution to complete the transaction. Additionally, I created the “Kinzie Report,” a market report that covered the Kinzie Industrial Corridor submarket and was distributed to over 500 businesses in the area.

My Team
Chicago-area tenants and owners benefit from the experiences of my 35-plus year career in commercial real estate. I have expertise in disciplines as varied as traditional brokerage, investment sales, land development, construction, and property management, which I bring to each assignment.
My unwavering commitment to my clients’ success has enabled organizations such as Willow Chicago, Kronos Foods, and SRAM to achieve their objectives no matter the challenge, and has allowed me to remain a market leader in the industry.
Since joining Colliers International in 1997, I have completed more than 1,000 transactions with a total value exceeding $2 billion.
Prior to joining Colliers, I worked with Grubb & Ellis where I was awarded the firm’s distinguished Senior Marketing Consultant designation within my first year and was a top 20 producer in my third year. Prior to Grubb & Ellis, I was senior vice president of Baird & Warner Company’s Corporate Group, forming the division in 1984. Additionally, I served as vice president and manager of the suburban office of Cushman and Wakefield of Illinois from 1980-1984 and was head of my own firm, Hartford Realty Group, for four years from 1977-1980.
Corporations, institutions and entrepreneurial clients around the world have benefited from my expertise in site selection, sale and lease negotiation for acquisitions and dispositions, financial modeling, cost reduction initiatives and strategic real estate portfolio planning. In addition, I offer my clients extensive experience with the “adaptive reuse” of structures and land sites. My vision for underutilized assets has enabled my clients to either maximize the value of obsolete holdings or secure some of the most unique settings in the Chicago metropolitan area.
My strategic real estate analysis and transaction management expertise helps corporations reduce real estate costs, grow, and become more efficient. I work to ensure my clients’ real estate remains an enabler, and not a constraint, to their success.
Before joining Colliers International, I worked for Grubb & Ellis, where I was named the 1995 Rookie of the Year. This award was in recognition of my commitment to clients and transaction volume during my first full year of employment.
I have been involved in commercial real estate since 1994. In the last five years, I have completed transactions with a value exceeding $500 million.
I am currently an administrative assistant for six brokers with Colliers | Chicago: executive vice president's Vern Schultz, Mike Senner and Greg Pacelli, vice presidents Chris Irwin and Peter Bourke and associate, Alex Kritt. In this role, l provide exceptional internal sales support to my broker team and our clients through efficient and high quality administrative and general support services. I assist on projects such as presentation and proposal support; listing preparation; transaction administration; gathering market knowledge through various internal and external resources and coordinating promotional and post-sales marketing materials.
