The person you hire is the person who shows up.
I spent three years running commercial construction sites and six as a project manager before I started managing property. When a contractor hands me a bid, I can take it apart line by line, because I used to write them. That background changes how I manage: I don't approve work I don't understand, and I don't pay for scope I can't verify. I'm PMI-certified and currently pursuing my PMP and a BICSI RCDD in structured cabling design.
The numbers are the record.
That growth at 5650 came from rebuilding the leasing pipeline suite by suite. No leasing team, no broker package — every showing, every negotiation, every signature was mine.
The work between the leases matters just as much — permitting, fire and life-safety, and the building systems tenants never think about until they fail. When a problem sits at the intersection of construction and technology, I fix it instead of hiring around it. The projects below show what that looks like in practice.
- PMI-certified (CAPM), PMP in progress — nine years in commercial construction, three running sites and six managing projects
- Leased a mostly vacant building back to health in two years, with every deal underwritten in-house
- Fire and life-safety permitting with South Metro Fire Rescue, including staircase and fire panel work across both buildings
- One person, full accountability — I write the budget, negotiate the contract, and answer for the outcome
