With the recruitment of Scripps and Torrey Pines Institute in South Florida and the Burnham Institute for Medical Research & the new UCF Medical School, there is a rapid development of a "Medical City" located by the Orlando International Airport. I am working to recruit companies to Central Florida and assisting in identifying sites, building facilities and locating these companies here. Currently there is over 500,000 sq. ft. under construction for Burnham and UCF that does not include the new VA Hospital, the Nemours Children's Hospital and Research Center, the UF Research center, MD Anderson and many more already committed. I have developed a local team of property owners, developers, architects, engineers and real estate professionals to assist me to be able to provide a complete package to companies anxious to be located in the heart of this incredible development.Specialties: Clinical laboratory development and management, business development, mergers & acquisitions, clinical trials management, union negotiation, international business, finance and budgetary, general P & L responsibility, corporate executive, commercial real estate
