>What inspired you to pursue a career in commercial real estate, and what path brought you to your current role? I started in cleaning and naturally moved into construction projects, where I saw how important the final stage really is. No matter how great the build is, it’s the cleaning that brings it to life. I built my company by showing up, working hard, and proving that what we do matters – even when it’s often overlooked.
What accomplishment or project so far in your career are you most proud of? Relocating from Chicago to Rhode Island in the middle of my career was the biggest challenge I’ve faced in business. Most of the opportunities I created in Chicago were local in nature and, unfortunately, did not transfer to Rhode Island.
