Since a young age, I have had a profound interest in and exposure to commercial real estate. I have long found industrial brokerage to be intriguing because it serves as the foundation of many different types of businesses and processes. It is very rewarding to have the opportunity to play a role in the goals and progress of each of our clients as a trusted industrial services advisor.

As a Vice President of Colliers International | South Carolina and an industrial and office specialist, I provide both tenant and landlord representation for clients in the sale, leasing and disposition of industrial and office properties across Charleston and the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. Whether I am negotiating critical terms in a lease for a tenant or consulting an owner or landlord in the sale or leasing of their space, my role is to meet my client’s real estate and financial goals, both for today and into the future.

Charleston is a small but powerful and unique market, and I pride myself in connecting people and identifying opportunities that others might miss. My goal is to maximize value for my clients, whatever you value most from your real estate, and to exceed your expectations.

I initially entered the commercial real estate industry in Atlanta, where I was involved in commercial property management and development for over fifteen years before moving to Charleston. In pursuit of the skills and experience that will most benefit my clients, I have earned the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors® designation, a prestigious industry achievement, and am currently a candidate for my Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation.

The most rewarding part of my job is identifying either a problem and solving it or recognizing an opportunity and capitalizing on it. This is a strength that translates into real estate solutions for my clients that not only accomplish the goal set forth, but also exceed their expectations and set a path for continuous business growth. I am very straightforward in my approach to real estate and interacting with clients, always handling a deal for the client’s wants and best interests first and foremost. 

I specialize in the sale of various investment property types throughout South Carolina as well as development parcels located in the Lowcountry.

Most of my clients are investors and developers many of which are institutional and high net worth individuals. My market knowledge, analytical nature, relationship network and experience in the industry are what sets me apart from other commercial real estate brokers. I pride myself on being able to present options and recommendations that suit both sides of a transaction. 

I find my job to be rewarding when a client sees the value that I delivered to a transaction, they have recognized my work as an integral component of their success, and they acknowledge that my services have exceeded their expectations. 

Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I spent years as a C-suite finance executive for various industrial companies.
