How did you enter the commercial real estate industry and where has your career taken you?

I graduated with a degree in Business Administration - Finance and was looking for a job in the finance field. In the job search process I ended up being offered a position to work in acquisitions for a real estate syndicator, and was eventually recruited into the property management division. From that point on I continued to take forward steps, working for Catellus Development Corporation (which was acquired by Prologis) for 13 years, where I managed a portfolio of more than $1.3 billion in office, industrial and retail properties; then moving into my current role as VP of Real Estate Management at Coreland Companies.
