As the Executive Managing Director of CBRE’s Florida and South Carolina markets, I oversee the Advisory & Transaction services business line and provide strategic support on business development to grow the firm’s market share. I have more than two decades of commercial real estate, banking and management experience. Prior to joining CBRE, I served as Managing Director of EverBank Commercial Advisors, overseeing the management and legal affairs for the bank’s non-performing and sub-performing commercial loan portfolio. Prior to that, I was a principal with Midland Development Group where, together my partners I developed and redeveloped more than 20 retail and mixed-use properties. I also served as an executive at Regency Centers, a publicly traded national developer, owner and operator of approximately 345 grocery-anchored and community shopping centers, with 17 regional offices and properties located in most major U.S. markets. A lawyer by training, I have practiced general business and commercial real estate law in Jacksonville with Rogers Towers and Ulmer, Murchison, Ashby & Taylor.
