This company was the financial arm of Grubb and Ellis and arranged financing for large commercial properties. I was Administrative Assistant for Jim Neil, Tom McNearney and Duke Stone. Typed and prepared books for each financing project to be submitted to the loan committee. Tracked all out-of-pocket costs for each loan and billed back to client, which had never been done prior to my joining the company. In April 1995 I left the company with David Wallenstein, Jim Neil and Duke Stone to found what would become Churchill Capital Company. At that point I was responsible for setting up all administrative aspects of the company so they only focused on closing loan deals.
