I have a great appreciation for business competition and enjoy helping our team members win. This has been relevant in my career in brokerage activities with our clients and now with my approach to management. I enjoy seeing the success of people within Colliers who apply a strong work ethic and persevere to win assignments. I possess a strong passion for helping our clients achieve their goals whether it is in leasing space or determining solutions to complicated real estate matters. 

I have the great honor or currently serving as the President-Elect of SIOR Global - Society of Industrial and Office REALTORS®. I will become President of this worldwide organization in the fall of 2023.

I have obtained three professional designations. I wholeheartedly support professional designations and I encourage all commercial brokers to obtain the designation of their choice.  I am a past Chairman of the Carolinas Chapter of SIOR. I have also been active within SIOR on a national level, having served on dozens of committees and task forces, and have held senior leadership positions including the Board of Directors for several different firms. 

I have been recognized numerous times for my service to various REALTOR® associations. I am a past recipient of the SCRA REALTOR® of the Year Award, the CCRA REALTOR® of the Year Award, the President’s Excellence Program Award recipient and the Grassroots REALTOR® of the Year. I was the NAR 2013 Commercial Award recipient. I have served as the President of CCRA (1,800 members) and SCRA (22,000 members).
