My Team
My Team
In my 23 years in the business, I have specialized in the sales and leasing of warehouse, industrial, R&D, and investment properties in the Bay Area. My clients include a variety of institutional owners and developers as well as corporate tenants in the distribution, ecommerce, manufacturing and R&D sectors.
I started in commercial real estate in 1994 for BT Commercial, now Cushman Wakefield, where I was a partner and companywide ‘Dealmaker of the Year’ several times before moving to Colliers International in 2008. Colliers has provided me the platform I need to better serve my client’s needs locally and in other markets. In total since 1994, I have completed over 1200 transactions in excess of $3 billion.
The competitive nature of the business, as well as the importance of good relationships in commercial real estate is why I enjoy coming to work every day. It is my responsibility to fully understand my client’s priorities and goals, then deliver on those needs. I value making sure my client’s priorities and goals come first in any transaction. The relationships I have created through this business is a constant reward and many clients have become good friends outside of the workplace.
Outside the office, I enjoy all outdoor activities and sports. Competitively I played for the Cal Golf team from 1989-1994, and continue to play in regional as well as national golf tournaments. I am a ten-time Club Champion at Claremont Country Club in Oakland. In giving back to a sport that has meant a lot to me, I enjoy supporting and serving on the board of The First Tee for the East Bay, a non-profit organization that supports the development and success of under-privileged kids through golf.
