ABOUT
In December of 2013 I took a leap of faith by leaving my well paying job and moving to Houston, TX to start a career in commercial real estate and take the next step in a relationship with my now wife, then long distance girlfriend.
I was working as a consultant with a fundraising firm, running high end capital campaigns for the redevelopment of Catholic Churches and Schools. In just under five years I lived in five states, eight cities and more hotels than I like to remember. I loved the company, the work, the travel and all the people I was able to encounter; but in the end I wanted to find a career that I could enjoy for the next 40 years.
In January 2014 I took the opportunity to work with a local boutique industrial real estate firm, TNRG. Working with TNRG offered the opportunity to gain education into the brokerage world while also gaining a wealth of knowledge into the development industry. The ability to work in an office with brokers and developers allowed me to have an inside look at how a real estate deal goes from start to finish. From locating a site, developing a site plan, constructing the buildings and filling them with end users; I had the chance to see it all.
In December of 2015, the brokerage arm of TNRG became the Houston branch of the National Real Estate Firm, Lee & Associates. I continued to grow my client base and use the new national flag to gain a larger market presence.
Most recently, in October of 2017, I was recruited by two brokers to join NAI Partners and form a three man team. Since I started in commercial real estate brokerage the industry has seen exponential growth and change. I believe that working with a team of brokers offers clients a more consistent and a more focused level of service.
Moving forward my goals will be to work with more Institutional Industrial Owners as well as growing my book of business of National Credit Tenants. I intend to work on more industrial development projects as well as sourcing more industrial investment opportunities for my clients. From research I have read and trends that we have seen across multiple industries, I anticipate 2018 to be a very busy year for industrial real estate in Houston. And I fully anticipate in taking advantage of it.
