Thank you so much for doing this with us! Before we dig in, our readers would like to get to know you a bit more. Can you tell us a bit about your “backstory”? What led you to this particular career path?

Ihave spent most of my career in commercial real estate working for a broad variety of organizations, capital structures and property types. I am very curious by nature, and when the opportunity arose to become involved in affordable housing, despite having zero experience in the field, I jumped at the challenge. Many times, people think a career is an endless upward trend to greater and greater success. My career hasn’t followed that path — I have had a variety of terrific successes intermingled with some significant failures. I have received awards and been fired. Each success and failure allowed me to learn and grow as a leader and real estate investor.
