Connector, relationship builder and thought leader; the core of my corporate real estate practice, and frankly, who I am. As Managing Principal and leader of the Cresa Portland office, I help entrepreneurs, small, medium and large businesses cut through the noise of the complex real estate landscape, distill into digestible content and provide honest, clear and concise counsel. I dive deep into the purpose, needs, desires of the business, then advise on the best real estate strategies to match the objectives.

A native Oregonian, my professional career started in Dallas, TX and has taken me to over 80 cities across the country representing the real estate needs of my clients. After spending more than a decade with one of the most well-respected CRE advisory firms, I decided to take on a leadership role with Cresa Portland.

As a community leader, I serve alongside others in my volunteer capacities; De La Salle North Catholic High School (Ambassador Board Member and CWSP Partner), Rotary Club of Portland (U40 Committee, Trust Board Member, Club Board Member), Habitat for Humanity, Young Entrepreneurs Business Week, Knights of Columbus, Boy Scouts of America

As a professional leader, I serve alongside others in my industry; Oregon Ethics in Business, PDX Executive Forum, Portland Business Journal, Thought Leader (Various Capacities), CRE Panelist (Various Capacities), Cresa's Emerging Leadership Council (former), Cresa's Strategic Leadership Council, Cresa's Client Task Force, Co-Creator (ELC) of Cresa X Series, Portland Business Journal 40 Under 40 (2020), Podcast Host (Think Beyond Space | The PDX Workplace Insider)

As a personal leader, I serve alongside my wife, Kelly, in raising our three boys, carrying the biggest responsibility of all!
