Willie graduated from Cal State University Fullerton with a BA concentration in finance and started his commercial real estate career in the retail sector from the ground up. With over 15 years of commercial real estate exposure, from starting in a local property management firm to a mid-size retail shopping center development company to working in public retail REITs such as Westfield, the accumulated experiences trained him to become a jack of all trades.
