Current Focus

Helping Great Projects Move Forward

Today, my work is focused on identifying opportunities, building strategic partnerships, and helping bring exceptional real estate projects from vision to reality. Whether serving as a development partner, owner's representative, strategic advisor, or development manager, my goal is the same: helping projects succeed through thoughtful planning, sound decision-making, and experienced leadership.

Strategic Advisory

Successful projects begin long before construction. I provide strategic guidance during acquisition, due diligence, planning, budgeting, team selection, and project execution—helping owners make informed decisions, reducing risk, and moving forward with confidence.

Real Estate Development

I work with investors, landowners, and development partners to identify, evaluate, and advance real estate opportunities that create long-term value. My focus is on projects with strong fundamentals, thoughtful design, and a clear path to successful execution.

Owner Representation & Development Management

Representing an owner's interests requires balancing vision, budget, schedule, quality, and team alignment. I work alongside owners and project teams to help keep complex projects moving toward successful outcomes while protecting the objectives that matter most.

Missing Middle Housing

California's housing shortage presents one of the state's greatest opportunities. I am committed to helping deliver thoughtful, attainable housing that strengthens neighborhoods while creating value for investors, homeowners, and the communities they serve.
