What year did you discover the New England Real Estate Journal? I first learned about NEREJ in 1985 when I entered the real estate business.

In what way has the New England Real Estate Journal been a benefit to you and your business? NEREJ has been beneficial in providing me with information about new and upcoming real estate projects as well as helping to establish myself as a professional in the field throughout New England.

How long have you been affiliated with the commercial real estate industry? I have been in the real estate field for over 30 years. I started my career with Gale Associates, Inc. in Weymouth, Mass. leading the civil, environmental, and transportation groups, and then invested 15 years as the director of development for Ahold USA, a parent company of Stop & Shop New England. I joined DiPrete Engineering in 2015 as its vice president of development.
