What is your role at Avison Young?

Vice President of Project Management and Development; I spearhead our Central Texas' Integrated Project Delivery service line. If it's an improvement on the land or any psychical structure, I'm usually involved full-cycle.

How did you get into commercial real estate?

My grandfather gave my brothers and I a hammer and bent-up 16d nails to fix the ranch gates. Then I learned how to weld, design architecture, price and capitally fund it and deliver the project, full-cycle. Fast forward a couple trips around the globe, living in beautiful international cities and constantly learning our CRE business. I love being entrepreneurial on the owner's side and bringing the whole vision together for our communities' greater good!

Share an example of a time you delivered economic, social and environmental value to your clients, colleagues or community?

A client came to us a small start-up business needing to grow from their existing tenant space. Our AY multiple service lines collaborated together to save the landlord mulitple capital upgrade costs, afforded the tenant a larger office space in delivering social and economic employment to their community, all while highlighting the environmental value via the tenant's electric-bicycle business model.

How do you see our Purpose reflected in your day-to-day work?

Across all the service lines, to have the full support of our team involved in our Project Management Pursuits is rewarding and exciting to the 'Value' we bring.

How has Avison Young supported you in bringing Brand Purpose to life in your work?

AY's support is omni-present, multi-faceted and multi-dimensional; all while offering a myriad of resources to draw upon when needed. I resonate it to my life and work similar to my family that extends our God-given purpose, grace and comfort to all.
