My initial discovery of the New England Real Estate Journal was in the early 1980s as I entered the industry. I was with a small brokerage firm in Lowell and had a requirement for my father's company seeking a larger facility (with rail siding). We had just begun a subscription to the Journal and in the classified section was a building in Medford that fit the bill perfectly. The company ended up leasing the building and I subsequently became friends with the cooperating broker and eventually worked with him at a larger firm in Boston. The NEREJ was the catalyst for my career in a way! How long have you been affiliated with the commercial real estate industry? For approximately 27 years. I began my career as a commercial broker in Massachusetts and quickly was attracted to the design/build construction industry, working at The Stone Company in Wayland. Since then I have continued to have a passion for the commercial real estate & construction industry and have had the pleasure of working with many great people on numerous exciting projects over the years, while establishing some wonderful friendships.
