What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
I treat my clients with a fiduciary duty and try to see things from their perspective. I think of what problems I've seen in the market and how certain lease terms may impact Tenants.

What advice would you give to young men entering your industry?

04
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
A lot of companies don't know about Tenant Representation services or believe they are too expensive. However, commercial real estate commissions are typically paid by the Landlord in Florida, so our services usually don't cost anything to our clients. Some Tenant's also believe that they will get a better deal by going straight to the Landlord, but having an experienced Tenant Rep who knows the market is critical in securing fair terms.

What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Spending time with my 2-year-old son is what I love doing. I've always been into sports and fishing and I'm just trying to teach him as much as I can.
