Since 2004, I have pursued my own path of excellence in walkable urban real estate development.

A Story of The Development Studio

At a young age, I had the intuition that quality urban density was better for humans and the environment as well as quite an exciting, interesting, and endless thing to think about and work on. Perplexingly, I soon found out that these places only make up about 1%… and just like that, I found walkable urban real estate development as a passion and vision to pursue.

To build the skills, insights, and gain capacity and capability to do this kind of development, I have since accomplished a unique and challenging path with outstanding leadership roles from corporate individual contributor up through the small business C-Suite. Along the way, I accumulated a range of experience across over quarter billion in development and earned recognition and accolade along the way. The many roles I have held are each strongly underpinned by a unique and powerful combination of degrees and certificates in engineering, architecture, and development that gives me the unique breadth and technical depth to create value by fusing the development ecosystem.
