What are you most excited about in your work or the commercial real estate industry right now?
I’m always excited to see how the different markets change and the cyclical nature of the business. My father started our brokerage in 1958 and I’ve grown up seeing him navigate many different markets both good and bad. I’m always excited for the new challenges that commercial real estate brings. Every day is a new problem to be solved. Right now the market in Salem is the toughest I’ve experienced so far in my career but it’s only lent itself to more creative approaches.
What has helped shape the way you approach your work and career?
I spent my first few years out of college working in medical physics. I planned complex radiation plans for patients undergoing external radiation for cancer. I think I’ve been able to carry the work I’ve done in hospitals through to my time in commercial real estate. Although the jobs are night and day I still truly enjoy helping people. Helping a client who has spent generations building a real estate portfolio but is ready to sell and move on into retirement gives me a similar sense of fulfillment.
