When and why did you begin a career in commercial real estate?
I began my career in 2018, but have always had an interest in real estate from a young age. Once I realized commercial real estate allowed me to combine helping people with the look, feel, and economics of a building, I knew it was what I wanted to pursue – and I haven’t looked back since.
What do you specialize in at ECR?
I provide office and industrial leasing/sales advisory services to companies and property owners throughout the Austin market.
How do you approach client relationships?
My goal is to always be an advisor first, offering strategic and honest advice based on the client’s desired outcome. Many of my clients value my approach to simplifying complex transactions and providing clear, practical direction throughout the process. Ultimately, I want my clients to feel confident in their real estate decisions and know they are truly represented and protected.
What do you enjoy doing outside of the office?
I enjoy spending time with my wife, daughter, and our two golden retrievers. You’ll usually find me spending time outside in the yard tackling a new project, golfing, hiking Austin’s greenbelts, or cooking Cajun and Italian family recipes to share with family and friends.
