In this role, he focuses on acquiring commercial real estate for long-term investment purposes, including sourcing deals and tenants and managing transactions in the distressed, REO, and value-added space. He has participated in millions of square feet of industrial acquisitions and leasing and brings more than 30 years of entrepreneurial, management, and deal-making experience.
