A focus on office
Gaining knowledge through experience
In 1991 I joined CMD Realty Investors, based in Chicago, and this is where I learned, gained experience, and developed skills related to the office business. Over the next 10 years I became a partner at the firm and led CMD's acquisitions in the western U.S. - totaling about 5 million square feet of office space in my region. Also, my role allowed me to have oversight responsibilities in the asset management and disposition of these properties, and also a role in raising four commingled funds totaling about $1.5 billion in equity (which was a lot in those days).
In 2001 I decided to leave CMD, but remained focused on office acquisitions in single-purpose entity capital structures. Since this time I have served as the lead operating partner in office projects in Phoenix and Denver totaling over 1.5 million square feet, in excess of $300 million in value, including those featured on this site.
Here's a little more about my background
I was born and raised in Phoenix, and attended ASU - graduating from the newly established Real Estate program of the W.P. Carey Business College.
After graduation from ASU in 1982 I joined a very small, Phoenix-based real estate investment group that began with four people and grew to over 30 by the time I left. I was fortunate to be given a lot of latitude here and I had a front row seat and involvement in the purchase of raw land, multi-family projects, a regional mall and much more - it was a great place to learn from the ground up.
WHAT I DO
I provide architectural design services that focus on increasing property value through smart renovations, additions, and new construction. From initial concept to permit-ready plans, I help property owners unlock the full potential of their spaces.

In 1989 I joined Coopers and Lybrand as a Manager in their West Region Real Estate practice. My deep transactional experience (especially for my age) gave me a unique perspective here. Although I've always felt more at home in an entrepreneurial environment, my experience here honed my analytical skills and gave me a view into the "institutional" side of this industry. After spending a couple of years writing and overseeing feasibility studies and various other engagements, I was ready to enter back into a transactional environment.
