Aurora, Colorado, United States
I’m an accomplished real estate practitioner and a part-time adjunct faculty member in the Daniels College of Business, at the University of Denver (DU). My record of success covers all forms of commercial real estate including brownfields acquisition and redevelopment. My experience includes the repositioning, re-tenanting, and redevelopment of functionally obsolete and distressed real estate, and I have been directly responsible for transactions exceeding 30 million square feet of retail, office, industrial, and residential product nationwide. I have also consummated lease and sales transactions in excess of $600 million, while sourcing debt & equity for many of these transactions. Academically, I hold both a BSBA in Real Estate & Construction Management and an MBA in Finance & Real Estate from DU. I have taught and published with distinction as a professor of real estate at DU for over 40 years, and have co-authored redevelopment case studies on some of my projects that have been used at the University of Denver (DU), the University of Virginia (UVA), New York University (NYU), and the Yale School of Management.

During this period I also conducted exclusive academic research and publishing regarding the commercial real estate debt crises of 2008 with Glenn Mueller, PhD (University of Denver professor and advisor to Dividend Capital) on behalf of the Pyne Companies. Our final white paper was published in the Journal of Real Estate Pension Fund Management (JREPM), in April of 2009.
