Profile

Real Estate Professional with 20+ years expertise across a diverse range of areas, including facilities management, capital planning, capital deployment, operations, and asset management. My career has spanned both military and multifamily housing, where I’ve developed a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities in these sectors.

Recently, my focus has shifted toward Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives, where I am passionate about integrating sustainability into the core of asset management. I’m particularly excited about leveraging prop tech innovations to drive energy conservation projects that not only meet sustainability goals but also deliver strong returns on investment (ROI). My role involves identifying cutting-edge technologies, securing funding, and ensuring the successful execution of these projects.

My goal is to continue driving impactful change by merging traditional asset management principles with forward-thinking sustainability strategies, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future while maximizing asset value.
