Working in the real estate industry for over 30 years has given him the knowledge and experience to excel in development and investments. He remodeled homes as a teen and became a real estate appraiser by the age of 20. Since that time, his engagement has continued to focus on property management as well as land acquisition and site design for commercial and residential tracts.
