What I Do
I partner with executives and investment leaders who need a seasoned operator to uncover sites, structure deals, and remove roadblocks. My edge comes from decades of trusted relationships with capital partners, landowners, developers, utilities, and municipalities—combined with a pragmatic entitlement strategy and a proven track record of closing complex, high‑value transactions in competitive markets.
