Colliers International Leases 100,000 Square-Foot Warehouse Facility in Newark

In my 23 years in the business, I have specialized in the sales and leasing of warehouse, industrial, R&D, and investment properties in the Bay Area. My clients include a variety of institutional owners and developers as well as corporate tenants in the distribution, ecommerce, manufacturing and R&D sectors. 

I started in commercial real estate in 1994 for BT Commercial, now Cushman Wakefield, where I was a partner and companywide ‘Dealmaker of the Year’ several times before moving to Colliers International in 2008.    Colliers has provided me the platform I need to better serve my client’s needs locally and in other markets.  In total since 1994, I have completed over 1200 transactions in excess of $3 billion. 

The competitive nature of the business, as well as the importance of good relationships in commercial real estate is why I enjoy coming to work every day.  It is my responsibility to fully understand my client’s priorities and goals, then deliver on those needs.  I value making sure my client’s priorities and goals come first in any transaction.    The relationships I have created through this business is a constant reward and many clients have become good friends outside of the workplace. 

Outside the office, I enjoy all outdoor activities and sports.  Competitively I played for the Cal Golf team from 1989-1994, and continue to play in regional as well as national golf tournaments.  I am a ten-time Club Champion at Claremont Country Club in Oakland.  In giving back to a sport that has meant a lot to me, I enjoy supporting and serving on the board of The First Tee for the East Bay, a non-profit organization that supports the development and success of under-privileged kids through golf.

As Vice Chairman in Colliers’ Oakland office, my brokerage practice specializes in the sales and leasing of industrial products along the I-880 & I-80 corridors as well as the Central Valley, primarily at the institutional and corporate level.

Having worked in the industrial sector for 30 years, I have been involved in more than $6 billion in real estate transactions, and I believe the breadth of my experience serves my clients in valuable ways.  I work diligently to bring a level of excellence and responsiveness to every aspect of my brokerage service.   I deeply value the long-standing client relationships I have developed over the years in the business, and get great satisfaction from being included as a valuable contributor to their team.

This is a dynamic and interesting time for Bay Area industrial real estate.  The emerging e-commerce industry and the level of demand for space has transformed the landscape of the business.  As the Oakland Industrial Team leader, I often collaborate with many exceptional colleagues here in Northern California as well as in other national organizations such as The Society of Industrial and Office Realtors (SIOR) and our National Logistics and Transportation Group.

Prior to joining Colliers in 1998, I worked at Cushman and Wakefield in Oakland.  In my free time, I enjoy golf, travel, yoga, swimming, and spending time with family and friends.  I am happy to support a number of important non-profit organizations including Aim High, Northern Lights School, U.C. Berkeley, and The First Tee of the East Bay.
