I have maximized the value of my relationships by "paying it forward". I am a networker, connector, commercial real estate broker, sales leader, entrepreneur, and published author. I grew up in the real estate and development industry. My father, two of my four daughters, two of my sons in law, and my brother have all been successful in different disciplines of commercial real estate and development. Today, I spend every day networking my commercial real estate relationships. My background supports my practice. I was a top producer of several commercial real estate brokerage companies and industry organizations including the Atlanta Commercail Board of Realtors. From 1984 -1999 I was a tenant rep and general broker with a national practice. My clients included global, national, regional, local, and real estate related companies. I am a recipient of the Phoenix Award and a Life Member of the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors Million Dollar Club. In 1999 I became the market leader, executive vice president and senior executive in the southern United States for Grubb & Ellis Company. After Grubb & Ellis, I started City Commercial Real Estate, Inc. and in 2009 created REAL Professionals Network. I am proud that I, my immediate family and my immediate colleagues have helped create hundreds of thousands of unique business connections, participated in and accelerated billions of dollars in commercial real estate development related transactions and revenue.
