About
Most people pick a lane. I run them in parallel. The work in each one makes me sharper in the others.
I'm a Vice President at CBRE Investment Sales, specializing in manufactured housing communities and RV resorts. Over 20 years, I've closed 109 transactions across 30 states, more than $500 million in total volume, working with private owners, family offices, and institutional investors. I run a national platform, not a local book of business, and I do it without a junior broker or an assistant. The discipline that requires is deliberate.
My approach is institutional in method and human in execution. I take on clients I believe in, study each market before I advise, and negotiate with patience. The best outcome for my client is the only metric that matters. That means sometimes telling someone not to sell. It means sometimes walking away from a listing.
I teach real estate finance at CU Denver Business School. I wrote the curriculum from scratch, building the framework from fundamentals rather than inheriting someone else's syllabus. I don't have a finance degree. I have a political science degree from the University of Minnesota and 20 years of doing the work. That gap between credential and competence is what I try to close for my students every semester.
I hold the USA Hockey Level 5 Master Coach certification, the highest in the system. My coaching philosophy came out of a thesis on practice design using the OODA Loop. The short version: great players aren't drilled into compliance, they're trained to observe, decide, and act faster than their opponents. That's true in hockey and it's true in a negotiation room. I've coached at Denver Country Club since 2020 and am pursuing varsity-level opportunities in the Denver area.
I'm also Managing Director of Double Black Aviation, a venture focused on optimizing commercial flight paths to reduce fuel burn, emissions, and operational cost. Different domain from real estate. Same core skill: find the inefficiency, build the system, prove it at scale.
I grew up in a military family. My father was a Navy officer and United Airlines captain, my mother a Navy commander. That background gave me a high standard for personal accountability and a comfort with complexity I've carried into everything since. I've lived in Colorado for most of my adult life and consider Denver home.
