About
Professional Summary
I am an Associate at Colliers | Pittsburgh specializing in Industrial and Investment properties. My responsibilities include developing client relations, executing brokerage assignments, consulting, and market valuations. I started my sales career at ADP in small business development. I completed their sales training, which was an unmatched, in-person program that allowed for rapid development of basic sales skills. At the same time, I purchased a distressed residential property and worked to educate myself on how to rehabilitate the property from the ground up. My experience in real estate ignited a drive in me to learn as much as I can about the industry. With my interest in real estate, and experience in business-to-business sales, brokerage was the clear path for me to take with my career. I am passionate about what I do, and highly value the clients that I work to serve.

I felt immediately comfortable putting him in a leadership role on my team and he has not let me down. His constant energy, innovative approach and ability to somehow find extra hours in the day for a million different things, it seems, made him a go-to for my other reps. He is a natural leader and a motivator.”
