About
Professional Summary
As a Senior Brokerage Associate with Colliers International | South Carolina and a member of the industrial team for central South Carolina, I specialize in leasing, user sales and investment sales of industrial properties.
Since a young age, I have had a profound interest in commercial real estate. I have long found industrial brokerage to be intriguing because it serves as the foundation of many different types of businesses and processes. It is very rewarding to have the opportunity to play a role in the goals and progress of each of our clients as a trusted commercial real estate professional.
Accomplishments
While attending the University of South Carolina, I served on the planning committee for the annual Game Ball Run, which raises money for the Marcus Lattimore Foundation and Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Additionally, I was also involved with the Caribbean Youth Network, a program that provides shelter, food, sports facilities and equipment for youth on Long Island in the Bahamas.
Today, I am a member of Christ School’s Alumni Council.
In 2017, I was recognized as a CoStar Power Broker in industrial leasing transactions in Columbia, South Carolina. In 2018, I received the Colliers | SC Rising Star Award. Also in 2018, I received the Central Carolina REALTORS® Association Commercial Circle of Excellence Award.
Over the course of my career, I have participated in transactions totaling 14.6 million square feet, valued at over $350 million.
Education
I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics.
In 2014, I joined Colliers | South Carolina as an intern, conducting research for quarterly market reports, special projects and case studies in the three major markets in South Carolina for two years before transitioning to brokerage. I find that my exposure to market data and establishing relationships with many of the professionals I continue to work with today, while working in the research department at Colliers provides valuable insight into market trends and deal-making from the brokerage perspective.

I am the Vice President and Director of the Industrial Brokerage Group for Colliers in Columbia. I have experience in all aspects of industrial brokerage, including leasing, sales, build-to-suit, site acquisition, investment sales and consulting. I have been with Colliers since 1981 and have completed over a thousand transactions in my career. I am an expert in the industrial market and am proud to have represented many national and multi-national companies with their real estate needs in the Columbia market, including Knauf Insulation, United Technologies, Lennox Industries, Howden Buffalo, ESAB, Sony, RNDC, Interstate Resources and Mainline Express. I have also provided valuable consulting work, site acquisition and leasing services for many national developers, including Panatonni Development, Red Rock Developments, Kirco and Miller Valentine Group.
I am inspired by the drive of my clients and customers to grow their business, create jobs and invest in our community. I enjoy the thrill of taking on the challenge to find real estate solutions for them to help them progress in their business goals. My experience in Columbia gives me a solid platform to deliver solutions that enable these companies to grow.
I am a Vice President with Colliers International | South Carolina, specializing in industrial real estate in South Carolina. I serve both tenants and landlords with their respective industrial needs. I assist tenants with comprehensive site selection, acquisitions and dispositions, and lease negotiations. In addition, I offer similar services to institutional landlords, which include strategic planning, detailed reporting and market analysis, marketing and lease/sale negotiations. I work with a collaborative team consisting of senior level associates and find that our teamwork is one of our biggest advantages in completing deals that exceed our client’s expectations.
Working in industrial brokerage, I have the opportunity to see the vast progress of companies and help to play a part in our client’s business development. I find that, for me, success is finding the best possible outcome for a client within their constraints and knowing that I have brought significant value to their growth.
I am a Brokerage Associate in our Columbia office working with the industrial brokerage team of Chuck Salley, SIOR, Dave Mathews, SIOR and Thomas Beard. Our team focuses on landlord representation and site selection for tenants looking in central South Carolina.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the challenging and rewarding nature of industrial brokerage. Our team has the privilege to work with clients and prospects on both sides of a transaction and find solutions to best suit their needs. We get to play a role in growing businesses in our community and stimulating the local and regional economy. This is a reward that few other careers can offer.
