Cincinnati

Growing up, I always knew I wanted a job where I would be in control of my career path, and commercial real estate has allowed me to do that both personally and professionally. I began my career as a retail and investment broker in 1989. Today, I leverage my previous brokerage experience and knowledge to oversee the strategic and daily operations of Colliers International | Greater Cincinnati and Dayton. Additionally, in 2012 founded the Colliers Cleveland office. As the Vice-Chairmain leading multiple offices, I prioritize providing the best strategic leadership and oversight to a truly remarkable team. In addition to commercial real estate, I have created a diversified and innovative family of companies providing brokerage sales, investment, construction, information technology, and property management services.

The experience I gained from holding various positions throughout my career has allowed me to reach a broad base of clients and establish valuable relationships throughout Greater Cincinnati and Dayton. These relationships have provided the opportunity to aid some of the region’s most successful companies in making sound real estate decisions.

In addition to my daily responsibilities with Colliers, I'm part of a great family, three great kids and  spouse who is so supportive. 

I find great joy in being involved in my community. One of my personal goals is to help the Cincinnati community and those around me to move forward and grow with energy and purpose. I am a member of various organizations serving the community such as the University of Cincinnati Foundation (Board Member), the University of Cincinnati UCATS (Board Member), the University of Cincinnati Diamond Club for Baseball (Chairman), the University of Cincinnati College of Business (Real Estate Board Member), the Greater Cincinnati Regional Business Committee, and Cincinnati Young Presidents Organization.

I hold the CCIM commercial real estate designation and have affiliations with ICSC (International Council of Shopping Center), ULI (Urban Land Institute), and NAIOP (National Association of Industrial and Office Properties).

I have spent the past 20+ years as a Professional B2B Executive Sales Leader that has served in many roles within the sales arena. Roles included: direct sales leader, consultant, new business generator, developer of existing accounts, sales manager, Sr Director of Sales and Managing Director. I am a loyal and dedicated sales leader who understands and values relationships while delivering solutions to specific client needs.

I have prospected and developed new business accounts, taken over existing under performing accounts and teams; grew them, sold re-branded products and solutions, all while maintaining and growing current business. I have excelled at building and growing sales teams while achieving sales goals and maintaining a focus on ebitda and revenue. Through each of these roles and learning experiences, I have come away with a singular understanding - my passion is for delivering results for my B2B clients and being a quantifiable leader within an organization. I have come to understand sales operations and processes throughout my career, but I have learned that my true value is using B2B relationships to garner solutions and results for my clients. 

After three plus decades in the property management business, I am constantly amazed at the number of challenges and opportunities I still experience for the first time. The REMS world is built on the management of people and their expectations, while effectively solving problems as they arise.  The key to our real estate management efforts in the Cincinnati market is very intentional listening to our clients and presenting solutions for their particular needs. We have grown our managed portfolio to over 12 million square feet encompassing 85 buildings.

I am proud of the consultative approach I have taken and the REMS team we have built. In my mind reputation in the real estate management business is my most valuable attribute. Focusing on that has kept us on a course to do the right thing, while keeping our clients, tenants and vendors top of mind.
