When I was a child, my father brought my brother and me to the construction site of his three story office building. He handed us each a new 1985 series quarter and instructed us where to drop them in the freshly poured concrete. Over time, the memory of that event became the foundation of my passion for land development.

 

I received my BSBA in Decision and Information Sciences with honors from the University of Florida in 2001, and I received my Doctor of Law (JD) from the University of Florida's Levin College of Law in 2004.

 

After Law School, I had the privilege of working with the Partners at McMullen Development in Orlando, FL for eight years. McMullen has a long and distinguished history of building Mixed Use Resorts throughout the world for brands like Marriott and Hilton, as well as independent developers. My responsibilities included Due Diligence, Project Management and Information Systems investments for our clients as well as General Counsel duties for the company.

 

We were challenged by many complexities as the markets shifted from euphoria to depression and new clients came in search of sales and marketing insight. Excellent communication, teamwork and situational awareness of the factors affecting our desired outcomes along with constant flexibility allowed us to help our clients in unique and successful ways.

 

Now, I am taking my passion for land development and all that I have learned working with the upper echelon of Mixed Use Land Development professionals and applying it to Transitional Land projects in Florida.

 

I have promised my partners that as we grow we will be smart about our business, have fun and give back. I hope to share those stories with you in the near future.
