As Managing Director and Principal

of Colliers’ New Hampshire offices,

I oversee our firm’s day-to-day

operations and guide its continued

growth and positioning within the

marketplace. My goal is to foster an

environment where our brokers and

staff can deliver to clients the highest

level of service in the industry.

I believe in leading by example. For

me, that means actively advocating

for clients and putting more than 25

years of experience, spanning market

insight, deal strategy, and relationship

management, to work on every

assignment I take on.

No two transactions in commercial real

estate are ever alike, and I enjoy the

complexity that comes with structuring

solutions for multi-layered, high-stakes

projects. Strategizing and executing a

“game-changer” for a client is the most

rewarding part of what I do. My work

is especially focused on investment

opportunities, development and

redevelopment projects, and helping

industrial and office users find the real

estate solutions that best align with

their business goals.

I’m fortunate to work alongside a

talented team of professionals whose

expertise complements my own.

Together, we provide innovative,informed, and responsive solutions— moving quickly and effectively on a broad range of assignments. Before entering commercial real estate, I worked in sales at Xerox Corporation and practiced law (I remain licensed but non-practicing).
