Many of Colliers International’s largest clients, including Best Buy, ULTA, Bridgestone and KeHE Distributors, rely on my corporate real estate expertise. My team consists of professionals focusing on supply chain real estate. Areas of expertise include site selection, labor analytics, real estate capital markets, structuring and negotiation of lease and sale transactions, government incentives procurement, and construction procurement.

I am a principal at Colliers International | Chicago and a leader in the firm’s national Logistics and Transportation group. In addition, I am a member of Colliers' Chicago-based Executive Committee, where I provide strategic direction for the continued growth and development of the Chicago office.

As an associate in the Industrial Advisory Group at Colliers International, I work alongside Brian Kling, a top industrial producer, to provide my clients with in-depth market knowledge on the southwestern suburban marketplace.

I previously interned with Colliers Chicago’s Investment Services team and assisted analysts by creating offering memorandums, which were then sent to potential buyers. I also canvassed the I-55, Waukegan and Fox Valley submarkets of Chicago creating a comprehensive database of more than 600 tenants. In addition, I toured clients through properties and updated more than 500 industrial properties in Colliers’ proprietary software system.

I also interned with Origami Capital Partners, a private equity fund in Chicago who specializes in acquiring distressed assets throughout the country. In this role, I assisted senior analysts in modeling distressed assets and commercial real estate portfolios; created quantitative analysis for investor committee memos; and sourced and contacted venture capital firms throughout the Midwest to identify potential investment opportunities.
