Professional Background

1. Current Role & Company: What is your current position, and what does your company specialize in?
   My current position at LPC is Vice President of Construction & Development and LPC specializes in commercial real estate services.
2. Career Path: How did you get started in commercial real estate, and what led you to where you are today?
   During the great recession in 2008, I was working for a residential general contractor. When the housing bubble burst, I jumped over to the commercial real estate side and specialized in construction management.
3. Area of Expertise: What are your key areas of expertise in commercial real estate (e.g., development, brokerage, construction, finance, legal, etc.)?
   In my role at LPC, I focus on development and construction but work very closely with our brokerage team, finance team and property management teams.
4. Notable Projects/Deals: Can you share a project, transaction, or initiative you're particularly proud of?
   From 2016 thru present, I have been the development manager for Legacy Union in Uptown Charlotte. I have been involved from due diligence through core and shell completion for BofA Tower, The Deloitte Tower, the SevenTwenty Parking Deck, Honeywell Corporate Headquarters and 600 S. Tryon. These buildings combine for over 2.5 million SF of office and approximately 5,000 parking spaces.
5. Industry Insights: What's one trend or challenge in commercial real estate that excites or concerns you?
   The lack of capital is still a huge challenge for development these days. I am hopeful that the capital markets will further open up but things are progressing a little slower than what I anticipated.
