About

Professional Summary

I am a broker in the Industrial Leasing and Brokerage division at Colliers International’s Minneapolis office. As a Vice President, I handle every step of the real estate process for my clients, including telephone prospecting, site searches, negotiating final leases or purchase agreement terms, and facilitating the construction and relocation process. I currently oversee a 1.9 million-square-foot portfolio of industrial properties on behalf of three institutional and two local owners.

I began my career at Colliers in 1988, and since then I have successfully completed more than 3,000 lease/sale transactions, totaling more than 50 million square feet, with an approximate lease/sale consideration of over $950 million.

The key to my success throughout my years in this industry has been my ability to grow and maintain a strong network of owners, tenants and brokers, enabling me to keep my portfolio fully leased. I take a hands-on approach to my business, and I work to achieve my client’s real estate goals in alignment with their overall business strategies.  My clients depend on my market knowledge and expertise to help guide their real estate decisions.

Given the rising interest rate environment, forward sales will become rare in quarters ahead. This will be a headwind to some merchant developers. Some will welcome this development as a way to help cool the market while, simultaneously, it could constrain an already supply constrained market.
