Starting as an office runner working out of a supply closet, I utilized hard work, a consistent positive mindset and a high bar of success to eventually help grow and manage one of the top apartment Real Estate teams in Colorado.

Since then, I have been instrumental in closing over 500 Real Estate transactions totaling over $500 Million as a multifamily investment specialist. I pride myself on finding and capitalizing on versatile opportunities and have dealt in Garden Style, Condo Portfolios, Renovated Properties, Distressed Properties, Short Sales, Vacant Properties, Loan Acquisitions, Note Purchases, and Portfolio Sales. I utilize an analytical mindset that affords insight into the best ways to maximize returns and provide the best wealth-building strategies for clients, no matter the property type.

The ability to enjoy not only what you do but who you do it with is an essential part of what makes me and my teams successful. Those with whom I work always celebrate each other’s successes, and that molds a supportive and energetic work environment that paves the way for growth. Both clients and colleagues will tell you I’m a warm and positive person due to coming to work and doing what I love every day.
