About

As a Land Acquisition professional I have participated in the purchase, planning, and entitlement of land resulting in more than 11,000 dwellings. I have guided acqusitions for America´s largest builders and been a principal to my own projects. These are exciting times. There are boundless opportunities. Still, navigating the complex legal, political and economic environment is a challenge. I bring the depth of my experience to these challenges to accomplish successful acquisitions and project approvals. Making a difference is my best reward.
