Tell us a little more about you:
Brother of two, husband of one,
father of three, caretaker of two
dogs, owner of three bicycles;
and rue the fact that I’m not an
official, medically-confirmed
“short sleeper.”
Notable industry achievement:
I have had the good fortune of
working for some wonderful
organisations across various
industries – consumer
packaged goods, investment
management, banking,
insurance and professional
services. During one stint,
I was involved in being the
first company to directly raise
money from individual investors
(via direct marketing, not
brokers) investing in private
RELPs and REITs.
What’s something you’re most
proud of?
The volunteer work
I did for five years with at-risk
teenage boys in Bridgeport,
Connecticut, and working
with the Penn (University of
Pennsylvania) football team
to address a five-year drought
in winning the Ivy League
Championship.
Is there a quote you live your
life by?
“The truth is that
there is nothing noble in being
superior to somebody else. The
only real nobility is in being
superior to your former self.”
What would most people be
surprised to learn about you?
That I once won a Chicago-area
lip sync contest with colleagues
from Quaker Oats – YMCA by
the Village People. The song
alone carried us.
Why do you enjoy working
at Cushman & Wakefield and
in the commercial real estate
industry?
Highly talented,
passionate professionals who
enjoy serving their clients well
and appreciate the opportunity
to do something special in this
industry.
