About
Professional Summary
As Vice President at Colliers International, I have extensive knowledge of a variety of types of transactions including leasing, acquisitions and dispositions. With over a decade in the industry, I have acquired an extensive knowledge base of trends occurring in real estate, and I use this knowledge to advise my clients and strengthen their business goals. Throughout my career, I have been honored twice as a recipient of the Minnesota Commercial Real Estate Association’s Transaction of the Year Award for projects in 2011 and 2013.
My clients remain my number one priority throughout every transaction. I am dedicated to building a lasting relationship with each and every one of my clients, and I work incredibly closely with them to reach their long-term real estate goals. I take a consultative approach to commercial real estate and know that real estate assets are often one of the biggest costs for a business.
