My team consists of professionals focusing on supply chain real estate. Areas of expertise include site selection, labor analytics, real estate capital markets, structuring and negotiation of lease and sale transactions, government incentives procurement, and construction procurement.

I am among the top annual producers across all of Colliers' service lines. In 2015, I was Colliers International’s number one Industrial professional in North America.
