What I’ve done recently:

In case you had not heard, I retired from CSU STRATA in Dec. 2023, re-engaged with my consulting company clients, and began teaching a graduate-level class in the Daniels College of Business at the University of Denver.  

The key take-aways for me as a mid-year summary of my life at Corporate RE Advisory Services and as D.U. Adjunct Professor:

I learned to pivot from an end-user CRE team leader to use my knowledge to enlighten younger CRE leaders-to-be with the emerging trends and challenges found in the commercial real estate profession. And I had the opportunity to take several of my students to the Rocky Mountain RE Challenge to see the DU team win the competition (see photo). I had two (2) guest speakers in my class: David Atencio with Cognizant spoke about their global real estate portfolio and their significant changes to their workplace in the Return to Work in this post Covid-19 workplace.

  • Due to my extensive knowledge of the real estate industry, I was sought out by attorneys to perform as an expert witness in two (2) real estate related cases. I learned to utilize my investigative and due diligence techniques to prepare valid reports on each case to be used by the attorneys in their defense of their clients.

  • My team and I are looking forward to working with our Clients and colleagues in the coming months!
