Candidate

Tishman Speyer converts opportunity into value through its expertise in every aspect of real estate.

I have the privilege of working for one of Atlanta's largest and oldest commercial real estate companies, SELIG Enterprises, a company whose core values of civic and community engagement parallel mine. Prior to Selig, I spent 11 years with one of the largest real estate developers in the world, Tishman Speyer, where most recently I lead the Atlanta region and was proud to have developed the 30 story Three Alliance Center office tower in Buckhead, which still holds the record for pricing in Atlanta when we sold it in early 2018. Through my experience at Leadership Atlanta, I've been able to connect with Atlanta's most purpose inspired and generous people, to make a real difference in this city. Another rewarding role is having been appointed to Board of Directors of Invest Atlanta, the City's Economic and Community Development arm. In addition to bringing major corporations to Atlanta and inducing large real estate projects, we focus heavily on Affordable Housing and creating opportunities in areas of the City which haven't been treated equitably. My role on the Board of Directors of both the Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, Central Atlanta Progress, and the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors (ACBR) where I Chair the Government Affairs Committee, as well as on the Board of Trustees for the AR-PAC allow me to further serve in the community.
